Toucan Sam wins at the Meadowlands

Race Track Ruler laid down stern fractions, setting it up for Toucam Sam’s closing sling shot move, coming home in :27 to take the $35,000 Invitational pace on Saturday night at The Meadowlands.

Toucam Sam gave driver Daniel Dube his fourth win of the evening after winning the 10th race of the night. Dube guided Toucam Sam to victory in 1:49.4, making this Toucam Sam’s second sub-1:50 mile, and making him the fastest pacer of the month of January.

Toucam Sam equaled the mark of Nuclear Breeze, pacing two sub 1:50 miles in the month of January. Nuclear Breeze accomplished the feat back in January 2007. Toucam Sam paid $4.60, $3.00, and $2.60 after being bet down from 6-1 to 6-5.

Race Track Ruler remained sharp, finishing just a length behind, in second, and it was a tight photo for show with Soul Chaser finishing third.

The 6-year-old son of Cam’s Card Shark--Arizona Yankee is trained by Mark Kesmodel. Toucam Sam has now generated more than $370,000 in lifetime earnings for owner Larry Baron of Horsham, Pa. (Meadowlands)
