Ontario’s world-class three-year-old pacing colts waged a pair of $99,800 Gold Series battles at Georgian Downs on Sunday (July 25) and it was Second Bruiser and Desperate Man who emerged victorious from the fray.
Favourite Second Bruiser did the bulk of the work on the front in the first division, leading the field through fractions of :27.4, :55.3 and 1:22.4 before pulling away to a 2-3/4-length win in a personal best 1:50.2. Century Heineken finished second and Bettor Of The West was third.
“He’s just a good horse, he’s been good since he come back this year and I wanted to drive him like I thought he was the best, because I thought he was the best,” said driver James MacDonald. “I pushed him a little bit, but he felt like if someone had come to him he’d have given me a little more too. He’s a tough horse, he’s just a good horse.”
