Amigo Volo nabs third straight

Amigo Volo (Father Patrick) was unhindered by a week off as he captured his third consecutive $36,000 Preferred at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Monday (Feb. 26).

Tyler Borth directed the harness racing gelding to the lead from post seven, cutting an opening panel of :27.4. Amigo Volo went unchallenged through the half in :57.1 and three-quarters in 1:26.1 and rounded the final turn a length-and-a-half in front. Pikachu Hanover (Trevor Henry) attempted to catch him from the pocket, but Amigo Volo finished strongly to score in 1:53.4. Pikachu Hanover protected second place by a length with Patriarch Hanover (Doug McNair) closing for third.
