After going home empty handed in last week’s $34,000 Preferred Trot at Mohawk Park, Treasured Tee returned to take on the track’s top trotters in Monday’s main event and bounced back in a big way for driver Doug McNair and trainer Richard Moreau.
Treasured Tee muscled his way to the lead from Post 6, and after whacking out fractions of :28.1, :56.4 and 1:24.3 he stormed home in :28.1 to win by a half-length margin over stablemate Memo in 1:52.4. Perfetto was beaten that same margin while finishing third.
Sent off at odds of 6-1, Treasured Tee recorded his third Preferred victory in his last five assignments for owner Brad Grant of Milton, ON. The six-year-old son of Yankee Glide-Platinum T improved this year’s record to 5-2-1 from 15 trips postward. The 15-time winner has banked over $250,000 to date.

Professional, easy-going, strong, willing trainers Nick Gallucci and John Pentland called on similar adjectives Friday night to describe their two-year-old pacing colt Gold Series winners Betterhavemymoney and Stonebridge Helios.
The pacers took very different trips around the Woodbine Mohawk Park oval to get to the winner’s circle, but they tripped the teletimer in identical 1:51.4 clockings and both looked impressive in the effort.
Starting from Post 6 in the first $103,800 division, Betterhavemymoney and driver James MacDonald spent most of the mile in the outer lane, had to dodge a breaking Coligny Hanover in the final turn, and laid down a :26.3 last quarter to earn their victory. Kolby Two Step, who did much of the work on the front end, finished one length behind the favourites in second and Erinwood Yves also closed like a rocket to be third.
