Down Under Winners from North America – 14th March

Leonidas, a seven-year-old Mach Three gelding, was the headline harness racing act among four ‘down under’ bred winners at Yonkers Raceway on Monday night (March 6).

He led for the last three stanzas to win the $36,000 Open Pace in 1:53.6. It was his 46th success and lifted his stake tally to $918,007.

On the same card, millionaire pacer Lochinvar Art (Modern Art) made it three-for-three in America when he captured a $30,000 event in 1:51.

The Art Major mare Beyond Words notched her first win of the season when he overpowered her rivals in a $15,000 Mares Open in 1:53.8 at Rosecroft Raceway on Tuesday night (March 7).

Fond Memories, a Queensland-bred daughter of Mach Three, was another to post her first win for the year, capturing a $17,500 Fillies and Mares Open in 1:58.2 at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday night (March 8).

Former NZ mares Off N Gone and In The Spotlight finished 1-2 in the $30,000 Mares Open in 1:51.8 at Miami Valley on Thursday (March 9).
