Style For A Mile circles field for first Mohawk Preferred victory

Style For A Mile (Captaintreacherous) won her third straight harness racing contest as she stepped up to the Fillies and Mares Preferred-2 for the first time at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Friday (Mar. 10).

After racing near the pace in her past two starts, Doug McNair dropped the mare back to fifth and last. Major League N (Ed Hensley) put up :27.2 and :57 first-half splits, and Style For A Mile slid up on the inside on the final turn.

Major League N turned first and saw the attack of Ahoy (Louis-Philippe Roy) from the inside. Style For A Mile emerged from behind them and joined the fray in mid-stretch. She then battled clear coming to the line and stopped the clock in 1:53.2.

Major League N was beaten a length in second. Need To Breathe (Travis Cullen) closed for show.
