Seeyou Men victorious in 200th start

Seeyou Men (Muscle Mass) added the taste of victory to his 200-start harness racing milestone celebration as he captured the Preferred-Handicap Trot on Thursday (May 18) at Rideau Carleton Raceway.

The journeyman gelding scored with a two-move effort in line to Guy Gagnon. He first blasted to the lead in a :28.1 first quarter before passing the baton to Donatover (Stephane Brosseau), who cut middle splits of :57.4 and 1:26.1.

Raising Rusty (Stephane Pouliot) attacked from the outside on the last turn, but it was Seeyou Men up the cones who brought down Donatover to win in 1:56.

Donatover was second by three-quarters of a length. Raising Rusty was right there in third.
