The out-of-town invader Camwood scored a wire-to-wire win in the Open Pace at Monticello Raceway on Tuesday (May 4).
Driver Bruce Aldrich hustled Camwood away from the gate, leaving from post 4 to wrestle the lead from Certified Ideal just past the quarter in a tepid :29. Aldrich continued to control the pace through splits of :58.4 and 1:27.4 to win by a length over Certified Ideal and Grand Priority in 1:56.4.
Camwood is owned George P. Dremonas of Oak Lawn, Ill. and is trained by Chris Petrelli. Petrelli is currently in fifth place in the leading Dash-winning Trainers with 25 wins, atop the leader board is Bo Sowers with 39 wins. The win for Camwood was his fifth of the season, and he paid $3.60 to win.
