Docsphillycheese best at London

Docsphillycheese (Betterthancheddar) topped the Preferred Pace at The Raceway at the Western Fair District on Monday (Feb. 19) for his second win of the harness racing season.

The stallion muscled forward, trekking wide on the first turn to take over before the quarter. :27.4. He led through :58 and :1:27 middle splits while pressed by Pembrook Legacy N (Lorne House), who backed down as they came down the stretch. Hollys Treasure (Dan Clements) rallied from the pocket and Harpers Hat Trick (Travis Henry) charged on the outside, but Docsphillycheese held on by a neck for the victory in 1:56.4. Hollys Treasure finished second over Harpers Hat Trick.
