Déjà vu in Blizzard Series

Shesasharpshooter (Huntsville) and Getting Euchred (All Bets Off) will carry perfection into the Blizzard Series final after both repeated in the second preliminary harness racing leg on Thursday (Feb. 2) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The former, a four-year-old mare, cruised to a two-and-a-half length victory on the lead in the first division with Steve Hudon aboard in 1:56.1. Ezbriesybeautiful (James MacDonald) finished second in her 2023 debut. She collared pocket-sitter Arizona (Travis Cullen) the line. Laura Toscani trains Shesasharpshooter, who is now perfect through three starts this year and four-for-23 lifetime, for Gino Toscani of Mount Hope. The mare has earned $50,151.
