On fire Partyintheshadows lowers mark again

Partyintheshadows won his fourth straight harness racing contest at Grand River Raceway on Friday and lowered his career best time for the fourth time in that spell.

The three-year-old Shadow Play colt sat behind leader First Glance (Mario Baillargeon), who cut fractions of :27.4, :57.1, and 1:25.4. Colin Kelly moved Partyintheshadows to the outside on the final turn and vaulted past First Glance to take the win in 1:54.1.

PARTYINTHESHADOWS REPLAY

Partyintheshadows started his winning streak on Jul. 30 with a 1:55.3 score at Grand River and returned the next week to win again in 1:55. He stepped up in class and defeated non-winners of $30,000 last five in 1:54.3 in the following start before winning Friday’s race at the same level.

Kyle Bossence trains Partyintheshadows for Brad Gray of Dundas, who owns and bred the horse. Partyintheshadows is five-for-11 this season and seven-for-17 lifetime.

Grand River Raceway hosts action again on Monday, Aug. 23 with a 10-race card starting at 6:30 p.m. EDT.
