Kioti crushes in fourth straight win

Kioti (Mystician) jogged to his fourth consecutive harness racing victory at Century Downs on Friday (Jun. 30).

The stallion rushed out to a three-length cushion for Michael Hennessy in a :27.4 first panel and held the edge to the half in :57. He downed the field even furth, gaining another five lengths to three-quarters in 1:24.3, and cruised to the line to win in 1:52.3. Keepsgettingbotter (Nathan Sobey) was best of the rest, a quarter-length ahead of Blast Of Sunshine (Phil Giesbrecht) in second.
