World champion Southwind Tempo used a stirring stretch kick to capture the $353,710(C) Classic Distaff for older pacing mares on Saturday night at Mohawk Racetrack. The 5-year-old daughter of Bettors Delight-Tsunami Hanover got away second to last in the seven-horse field for driver Jody Jamieson and watched as A And G’s Confusion and driver David Miller carved out fractions of :26.2, :55.2 and 1:22.4. At the top of the stretch, Jamieson found himself behind excess cover, sitting seventh and last on the outside. Southwind Tempo showed her class, however, and blasted past rivals with a blistering :26 final quarter to stop the clock in 1:50. She was two lengths better than runner-up Tug River Princess with Hanover Hanover landing the show spot. Darren McCall conditioned both of the top two finishers, including Southwind Tempo who was winning for the fourth time in seven outings this season. The winner’s share of the purse vaulted her over $1,660,000 lifetime for owners Jerry Silva and Let It Ride Stables Inc. of Delray Beach, Fla. (WEG)
