All Gas No Brakes floors it late

All Gas No Brakes (Uncle Peter) roared past five harness racing rivals in the last eighth of a mile to take the conditioned feature on Monday (Jan. 20) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The gelding sat third through :29 and :58.4 fractions set by Franks Angel (Bob McClure) through the first half but was kept on the pylons by driver Tyler Borth entering the final turn. He was shuffled to sixth at three-quarters in 1:27.3 and was boxed in at the top of the lane. Borth found him a gap in deep-stretch, and the gelding charged through with a head of steam, edging out the closing Patriarch Hanover (Doug McNair) to upset at 14-1. Patriarch Hanover was second by a head with Crystal Baller (Tyler Jones) third.

ALL GAS NO BRAKES REPLAY

All Gas No Brakes, a former Buckeye Stallion Series champion, is now 27-for-87 lifetime with a bankroll of $263,042. Owners Gordon McDonald of Ottawa and Christopher Boland of St. Johns acquired the six-year-old in December and placed him in the hands of trainer Victor Puddy. Monday’s win was the gelding’s first for the connections.

Borth won three races on the night, the most of any driver.

Woodbine Mohawk Park will host its next night of racing on Thursday, Jan. 23, starting at 6:30 p.m. EST.
