Mr Feelgood wins Burlington

Mr Feelgood ($31.40, $5.80, $3.60) and driver Mark MacDonald toppled the mighty Jereme’s Jet ($2.40, $2.10) in the last of the $100,000 Burlington Stakes divisions Saturday evening at Woodbine, hauling down the millionaire in a time of 1:53.2 after working out a two-hole trip.

Mr Feelgood, a son of Grinfromeartoear, topped a $70.20 exacta and defeated Jereme’s Jet by a half length, handing the champion pacer only his second career loss.

With Jody Jamieson at his controls, Doonbeg ($3.60) closed hard from the back of the pack to finish 4ľ lengths in arrears, bottoming the $283.70 trifecta.

“I was obviously surprised he [Mr Feelgood] beat Jereme’s Jet, but I knew he was a pretty nice colt heading into it,” MacDonald said about Mr Feelgood, who is trained by Jimmy Takter for the Canamerica Capital Corporation, Diversity Stable and Lindy Farms of Connecticut. “He was really good. I used him leaving and then he paced hard right to the wire, so you can’t ask for more over that [sloppy] surface.”

MacDonald and Mr Feelgood left hard from post five and deposited Jereme’s Jet on the front-end just after the :26.3 opening quarter-mile. Jereme’s Jet settle to the lead on the backstretch and proceeded to notch the middle fractions in :56.1 and 1:26.1, respectively.

When MacDonald pulled on Mr Feelgood in the lane, the bay responded by digging into the mucky track and grinding by Jereme’s Jet in the late stages.

With the win, Mr Feelgood, who is also eligible to the Pepsi North America Cup (Woodbine, June 17), notched his second victory in three starts this season, vaulting his career earnings to $159,046.
