She’s “Sharktastic” again

Outlaw Sharktastic (Smart Shark) won her second straight Fillies and Mares Preferred in the harness racing feature at Century Downs on Friday (Apr. 12).

The mare got every call again, heading the field of six through :28.4, :58.4, and 1:26.2 splits in line to Nathan Sobey. If Only Id Known (Phil Giesbrecht) led the outside line and pressured the leader into the lane. Outlaw Blue Isle (Dave Kelly) also chased from the pocket, but Outlaw Sharktastic allowed no gains as she completed the victory in 1:55. Outlaw Blue Isle was a length-and-a-half back in second, followed by If Only Id Known.
