Seeley Man caps off perfect season in Final

The Festival of Champions at Scarborough Downs started off in track record form with Seeley Man and regular harness racing pilot Kevin Switzer, Jr., doing his usual, grab the lead and never look back, routine.

The son of Western Maverick, in all of his 11 undefeated races, has always been on top at every quarter pole marker. Seeley Man not only capped off his freshman year undefeated for owner Florence O'Keefe of Old Orchard Beach, ME., but he also equaled the track record for two year old pacing colts in 1:57.2.

Trainer Gerry Smith commented that this is a special kind of colt and his full capabilities have yet to be seen.

Seeley Man upped his seasonal earnings to $74,296 with this 9½ length romp and recorded his lifetime fastest mark.

Seeley Man is the first foal of Perfect Launch.
