Rebellious outkicks rivals for 86th lifetime win

FORT WASHINGTON, Md. — P T Stable’s Rebellious (Mach Three) took advantage of a pocket trip and emerged up the open stretch to collar pacesetter Leonard’s Legacy to score the 86th win of his harness racing career in Monday’s (Nov. 17) $12,000 Open Handicap Pace at Rosecroft Raceway.

William Carter secured a pocket ride for Rebellious behind Leonard’s Legacy (driven by Tim Deaton) through a sharp :26.2 first quarter, and the pair drafted closely behind middle splits of :55.4 and 1:23.3. After Leonard’s Legacy turned aside a first-over bid from 1-2 favorite Sheer Terror (Jonathan Roberts) turning for home, Carter cut Rebellious loose up the open stretch, and the 11-year-old Mach Three-Winbak Pam gelding accelerated to defeat Leonard’s Legacy by a neck in 1:51.4. Sheer Terror finished two lengths farther back in third.
