Bono Bests in Count B

Bono Bests, third in last week's opening round of the Count B Pacing Series, rebounded with an impressive 1:53 victory in the $17,000 ( C ) second leg of the series at Woodbine Friday night.

The 3-year-old son of Pro Bono Best used different tactics this week as Phil Hudon had him sitting third throughout most of the mile. Bono Bests made his move to the outside as the field entered the last turn and, in a matter of strides, blew past pacesetting, Siddall, to grab control of the race nearing three-quarters and was put on cruise control to the wire. Armbro Deuce came charged from well off the pace to be second with Gran Sasso, making his first appearance in the series, finishing third.

The win was the third of the season for Bono Bests who earlier captured the $46,600 Snowshoe Series at Woodbine. The Chad Milner trainee now has $70,000 in career earnings for Ivan Sugg of Ohio and Blue Chip Partners of New York.
