Windemere Best Man, Inverness Raceway's 2023 Horse of the Year, earned his first victory of the new meet in the soggy Sunday, June 2 feature with a wire-to-wire effort for driver Redmond Doucet and trainer Lanny Hanscombe.
Despite starting the year with three straight wins including a top-class score one week ago the betting public decided that Thunder Alley wasn't the horse to beat in the Winners Over Pace at Northside Downs on Saturday, June 1.
Last week, the longest shot on the board prevailed in the top class at Northside Downs. On Saturday, May 18, the favourites were foiled once again with the second longest shot getting the job done for his connections and supporters.
Alexandra Goldin's pacer Marco Beach not only wired the field in Sunday's featured $10,959 Winners Over Pace at Shenandoah Downs, but he shattered the previous track record by two-fifths of a second when he crossed the finish line three lengths the best in 1:51.4.
