It certainly came as no surprise that conditioner trainer Tracy Brainard captured Friday�s $54,700(C) Ontario-Sired Spring Series final at Mohawk, however it was surprising that it was Power Off who garnered the win for her stable and driver Rick Zeron.

Brainard sent out three horses in the final as part of a larger four-horse entry in the field of six. It was the undefeated Oscar Oscar who looked like the strongest part of the three-horse juggernaut heading into the final, but the speedy son of Western Terror made a costly break while sitting in the pocket on the final turn and took himself out of contention.

IIn the meantime, stablemate Blue Suede Shoes set all the fractions for driver Jody Jamieson and led the field for home. In the stretch, Power Off kicked in with a strong move to overhaul the pacesetter but had a closing It�s a Good Thing to hold off.

Power Off held sway by more than a length at the finish with It�s a Good Thing landing the place spot and Blue Suede Shoes settling for third. The clocking was a new stakes record time of 1:52.

The winner returned just $2.10 for the victory. There was no place or show wagering offered because of just three betting interests going postward and more than $80,000 was wagered into the win pool alone.

The victory was the second in nine tries this season for the son of Western Terror-HH Sapphire who is owned by Bulletproof Enterprises of Boca Raton, Fla. The winner�s share of the purse vaulted him over $65,000 lifetime. (WEG)
