17th this season for Outlaw Spiced Rum

Outlaw Spiced Rum (Blue Burner) became the joint-third winningest harness racing horse in North America this season as she wired her opponents in the Fillies and Mares Preferred at Fraser Downs on Thursday (Oct. 31).

The mare quickly attained pace control from post two for Allan Molloy and cut uncontested first-half fractions of :28.1 and :58.2. Outlaw Allie Oops (Dave Hudon) bit the first-over bullet and put the leader under pressure through three-quarters in 1:25.4. Outlaw Spiced Rum kicked back out to a two-length lead on the turn and resisted the challenger to the finish, coming home a length winner in 1:54.2. Outlaw Allie Oops was a clear second with In High Cotton (Kelly Hoerdt) third.
