Veteran driver Dave Ingraham needed a little luck and a little racing room to avenge his previous loss in the $6,000 Winners-Over top pacing class at Cumberland.
On May 18, in his first start back since shipping north from Pompano, Rocksapatriot finished second to Tuesday’s (June 1) betting favourite Airspinder. But, after the latter got caught behind a tiring Twomacsoneshadow going to three-quarters in 1:27.2 and was forced three-wide, Ingraham found racing room and ducked off the pylons in the final turn, brushing the six-year-old son of Rockincam home in 1:57.
Pacesetter Bet On Joe held on for second and Airspinder was third.
Rocksapatriot picked up his 16th win of his career, which has accounted for $109,198 in earnings. This was his third victory of the season, the fastest of which was a 1:53 romp at the Pomp .

The 2021 Ohio Sires Stakes (OHSS) season got off to a sizzling start on a sunny and breezy Sunday afternoon (May 2) at Miami Valley Raceway.
In the first of two $50,000 divisions of three-year-old pacing fillies it was the favourite Lady Arthur who stole the show for trainer and co-owner Dr. Ian Moore. The homebred daughter by Arthur Blue Chip, out of the Mach Tree mare April Three, used front-stepping tactics to nail her second win of the season in 1:53.3 with Ronnie Wrenn, Jr. at the lines.
Owned in partnership by Moore and the RG McGroup and Serge Savard, Lady Arthur now has $110,000 in her career coffers. She finished two lengths in front of 11-1 rival She Knows It All, with Babs Jansen half a length back in third.
