Eastcoast Invader best again

Eastcoast Invader (Rollwithitharry) won his second straight Inverness Raceway Winners-Over on Wednesday (Jul. 3) for his 20th career harness racing victory.

Away third in the field of six, Monica Sutherland pulled the gelding second-over behind Windemere Best Man (John MacDonald) nearing the half and kicked off cover coming down the backstretch. Eastcoast Invader climbed past Windemere Best Man on the final turn and strode home to capture the feature in 1:58.4. Windemere Best Man was second by a length, followed by the closing Delightful Wine (Zach Mullins).
