Racing Forthe Mark crushes in fourth straight win

Racing Forthe Mark extended her winning streak to four in a thundering lifetime-best victory over Rideau Carleton Raceway conditioned harness racing foes on Thursday.

The Luc Loyer trainee got away third from the pylons but brushed to the front after a :27.4 first quarter mile. Driver Samuel Fillion controlled her speed to the half in :56.1 and three-quarters in 1:25.1 before letting her fly in the final quarter.

Racing Forthe Mark opened up on her rivals, soaring away to a 1:53.1 eight-length score. Clodam Bayama (Justin Filion) recovered from a shuffle to take second. Steelmeatreasure (Guy Gagnon) was third.

The win price was $2.30.
