Shark Time in Snowshoe

Shark Time won the $45,200 final of the Snowshoe Pacing Series Friday evening at Woodbine, scoring in 1:55. Shark Time and driver Rick Zeron went to the lead before the half and never trailed thereafter, thus sweeping the event for 4 and 4 year olds.

Bet down to 1-5 odds at post time, the pair left modestly from the rail spot and got away fourth before the :27.2 opening quarter lit up. Zeron then sent his mount, a 4-year-old Cams Card Shark gelding, first-over and cleared before the half-mile indicator came to life in :56.3.

The duo were first to the three-quarters pole (1:24.4) and cruised home to beat Stonebridge Wish by three-quarters of a length.

With a catch-driving Mario Baillargeon at the helm, Corky Baran ($2.80) got up for third after working out a pocket trip and finished 3½ lengths back of Shark Time.

Shark Time, who is out of the Falcon Almahurst mare Continental Time, is conditioned by Wayne Preszcator for Pennsylvania-based owners Bryn Mawr and Bowl Stables.

Now a winner of six career races, Shark Time captured the final in the same way he snatched divisions in the series’ preliminary legs. In both instances, he had gotten away close to the front, had tipped out first-over and grabbed the lead prior to the halfway point of the dash. Shark Time is still undefeated in 2007.
