On Thursday afternoon at Monticello Raceway in the 4th race, the three longest harness racing shots on the board finished 1-2-3.
Starting from post 8 and going off at 100 to 1, Art Retreat was considered a write off.
The son of Artzina had other plans, he got away last in the 9 horse field, at the ¼ pole he was 16 lengths behind the pace setter, at the half he closed the gap to 12 lengths.
By the time the filed hit the ¾ mile marker he was 7th and 2 deep, he continued the overland route to score by a head in 1:58.1 for owner/trainer Gerald Decker and paid $202.00 to win, $103.50 for place and $43.00 to show.
Trottown King finished 2nd and returned $44.20 for place to his supporters, and TKR'S Metro Specs garnered the show position and rewarded those who had faith with him with a $10 show payoff.
The exacta for the race paid $3,770.00, the trifecta returned $9,689.00, pick 3 payoff $1,925 and the Superfecta paid $73,124.00.
