Down Under Winners from North America – 5th November

Racy Roxy, a Queensland-bred daughter of Mr Feelgood, came from worse than midfield to win the $15,000 Fillies and Mares’ Open in 1:53.8 at Saratoga Raceway on Monday (October 28). It was her seventh success for the harness racing season. 

RACY ROXY A REPLAY

The Art Major four-year-old Ten To The Dozen, who was bred in Western Australia, became the latest ‘down under’ bred pacer to enter the 1:50 list when he won a $15,200 Open at Hoosier Park in 1:49 on Friday (November 1). 

Mirragon, a Victorian bred gelding by Art Major, came from absolute last to win the featured $13,000 Open Handicap by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:55 at Batavia Downs on Saturday night (November 2). The win was his eighth for the year. 

The Bettor’s Delight gelding General Montana overpowered his rivals in the home stretch to win the $15,000 Open in 1:52.6 at Saratoga Raceway on Saturday.
