2 straight for Mighty Maori

For the second consecutive week, the 10-year-old veteran trotter Mighty Maori A captured the Wednesday night feature at Pompano Park, prevailing in 1:59.1 for driver Dan Clements.

As the trotters exited the final turn, Mighty Maori A was angled off the pylons and quickly sprinted to the front, overtaking Orpha Lou and opening up a 1 ¼-length advantage in mid-stretch before holding off the late charge of S Sparrow Express (Kevin Wallis) and Giambi (Mickey McNichol) to prevail by a neck.

Mighty Maori A returned $20.60, $10.80, $8.20 for the victory. S Sparrow Express paid $20.00, $4.80 for second, while Giambi brought in $18.40 for third.

Owned and trained by Dave Mogan of Coconut Creek, Mighty Maori A has visited the winner’s circle in two of 12 starts this year. The Wednesday victory pushed the lifetime bankroll for the Australian-bred son of Maori’s Idol over the $160,000 mark. (Pompano Park)
