Rebellious returned to the racing wars after being given a couple of weeks off to “freshen up,” and proved that the vacation was well worth it by scoring a 1:49.4 win in Pompano Park’s $10,500 Open I-II Handicap Pace on Monday night (Feb. 15).
The seven-year-old gelded son of Mach Three, owned by trainer Mike Deters and Joel Warner, had Wally Hennessey in the sulky and took charge from post five around the initial turn and carded fractions of :26.3, :55.1 and 1:22.1 along the way before holding off the bid of the pocket-sitting Alluneedisfaith N (Mike Simons) to score by a half length. Ideal Feeling (Rick Plano) was third, three lengths away.

The four year-old son of
Prime Time Caviar hit the wire in 1:53.2, despite the fact he started from the outside six post and was three-wide until reaching the lead three-eighths into the mile.
The winning margin was a measured neck over Explosivebreakaway (Tom Jackson) with Sooo Handsome (Rick Plano) third, 2¼ lengths away. Keegan Ho finished fourth while The Lionking AS picked up the nickel in the classy sextet.
After the race, driver-trainer Andy Shetler said, He sure is a tough customer. This is his favorite track. He just has that will to win and he can dig forward pretty much forever. The night he made that break early, he just seemed to have that attitude that he wasn t going to give up until the job was done. Tonight, he was just fantastic!
