Kiss Me Bad goes for sweep in Quebec-Bred Series

Kiss Me Bad (Badlands Hanover) is halfway through making a clean sweep of the Quebec-Bred Series for older harness racing pacers. She has won her first two preliminary legs and goes for a third win Sunday (June 25) at the Hippodrome 3R.

Owned, trained and driven (most of the time) by Steven Gagnon of Sorel-Tracy in Quebec, Kiss Me Bad will start from post nine on Sunday. She faces eight rivals in the 7^th race co-feature, the third and final preliminary round. The $30,000 series finale is set for Sunday, July 9.

In both her impressive wins in the series, Kiss Me Bad has come first-over and wore down the pacesetters en route to victory. Both wins were in identical times of 1:56.4.

Her main competitors in the race are Lili GL (post 4), Platine Alpha (post 3) and Celia Bayama (post 2).

The older horses compete in the 5^th race for the Quebec-Bred Series and the race is headlined by Aladdin (Shadow Play) from post three for driver Stephane Brosseau.

Trained by Maxime Velaye, Aladdin is a four-year-old gelding that was bred and is owned by Guy Corbeil of Mirabel, Quebec. In the opening round of the series, Aladdin scored a 1:54.2 victory, the fastest mile of the season at H3R. Last week he was second to rival The Light Speed, who is not entered this Sunday.

Mickeymaksomespeed goes from post four for driver Jocelyn Gendron and is always in the hunt for trainer-owner-breeder Michel Allard. Other contenders include Stock (post 1), Cyclone Joe (post 5) and D Gs De Vito (post 2).
