Michael McGee made a bold move and put his own Led Schneppelin on the front of the Maine Amateur Drivers Club (MADC) race Saturday (June 5) at Cumberland. The move turned out to be the right one and, despite having several competitors try to puncture his lead, the 10-year-old son of Memphis Flash held off all would-be conquerors to capture the $4,200 event in 1:59.3.
First it was 83-year-old Robert Nadeau who tried to stick Putnams Storm’s nose in front while some confusion reined in the back of the pack. Pulling first over going to the half, the five-year-old son of A Rocknroll Dance was turned away by a determined McGee and Led Schnepelin.
Fewer than 10 per cent of the horses racing on Saturday (June 5) at Cumberland have won their last start. Sixty-five per cent of them, however, hit the board in their last two outings. This makes for competitive racing as well as attractive opportunities for punters on the 10-race card.
The only sprint on the day’s program with fewer than seven horses entered is the featured conditioned trot, with six programmed starters vying for a $4,800 purse in the afternoon s opener. Looking for his second win in a row is Jimmy Dean (post 5, 5-2). The six-year-old by Break The Bank K makes a class jump for trainer David Crochere and driver Gary Mosher. The second choice on the morning line is Cherry Crown Jewel (post 2, 3-1), a nine-year-old RC Royalty mare that won her next to last start for trainer Gretchen Athearn and driver Matt Athearn. She drops down from the Winners Over class, where she raced last week.

A team of researchers, led by Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf, has discovered that improved guidance on COVID-19 management and healthcare navigation accessible to the deaf community is needed. The conclusion is based on studies that show a higher portion of deaf respondents reported challenges with accessing, understanding, and trusting COVID-19 information compared to their hearing peers.
