Beach Journey, craftily handled by Wally Hennessey, took top honours in Pompano Park’s $11,500 Open Pace for Mares on Tuesday night (April 13).
Edging past favoured Casies Believer in deep stretch, Beach Journey scored by one-and-a-half lengths in 1:52.4 off a :57.2 opening half. Tempus Seelster, last early on, closed to take show honours while Evas Sports Czech and Persistent Bettor earned the final two awards in the classy octet.
As the wings folded, Beach Journey (post 6) was sent in search of the lead along with Casies Believer, with the latter taking charge around the opening turn and taking the field to the first quarter in :27.2. A :30 breather brought the leader to the half in :57.2 as Roll With Angel was on the move uncovered into third and soon within a length of the leader through a :27.3 third panel.
