3YO pacing series starts at Woodbine

Terror Time and Fresh Herb kicked off the 2010 Ontario Spring Series for 3-year-old colt and gelding pacers with impressive wins in their respective $20,000 divisions on Friday night at Woodbine Racetrack.

 

Terror Time rallied from off-the-pace to easily capture the opening contest for driver Mark MacDonald in 1:52.3. The gelded son of Western Terror - Hatchery was 2-3/4 lengths better than runner-up Ashton
Seelster with Broadies Song finishing third. Terror Time returned $7.60 as the second choice in the wagering. The Shawn Robinson trainee has now won three of nine starts this season for owners Ian Fromowitz of Ontario and Gerrie Tucker of Quebec. The clocking shaved more than a full second off his previous lifetime best.

 

In the second division, Fresh Herb converted off a perfect, pocket trip for driver Steve Condren in an identical time of 1:52.3. The son of Camluck - Coriander Hanover turned back Milliondollar Art by three
lengths with pacesetter Lil Bit Lil Bit holding on for the show spot.

 

Fresh Herb was sent off as the bettors’ choice, returning $4.30 to win. It was the third win in just four career starts for the Bob McIntosh pupil whose previous best win time was 1:56.1. McIntosh co-owns the colt along with the CSX Stables of Ohio.

 

The Ontario Spring Series will continue with second-round action next Friday night at Woodbine. (WEG)
