Two-year-olds break maidens at Mohawk

Three harness racing rookies scored their first lifetime victories at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Tuesday (Jul. 3).

Lookatmegoamigo (Muscle Mass) got it done in the first, slingshotting from third to first down the stretch for a three-length win with Louis-Philippe Roy at the controls. All Valley (James MacDonald) finished second with Influencer (Sylvain Filion) third. The mile time was 1:58.1.

LOOKATMEGOAMIGO REPLAY

Luc Blais trains Lookatmegoamigo, a $120,000 Harrisburg purchase, for Determination of Montreal. The colt finished fifth on debut but closed in :27.1. He has now earned $8,800 in two starts.

Ben Baillargeon’s Roxie Hart became sire Musical Rhythm’s second offspring winner as she came first-over from fourth on the final turn and grinded to a 1:59.1 victory. Driven by Mario Baillargeon, she returned $33.90 in beating favourite Beersnsunshine Deo (Tyler Borth) by three-quarters-of-a-length. Lasting Dream (Roy) took third.

ROXIE HART REPLAY

Roxie Hart is a homebred owned by Ben Baillargeon, who trains the filly. The Tuesday victory was her debut after a 2:02 third-place qualifier on Jun. 21.

Night Phantom (Walner, Bob McClure) won his first career start in the sixth race, rolling to the front from third to score by a length-and-three-quarters in 1:59.1. Captain Suzuki (Doug McNair) got past pacesetter Stmikes Kerryblues (Sylvain Filion) for second.

NIGHT PHANTOM REPLAY

The winner is trained by Mike Keeling for owners Dreamville Stable of Cambridge, Harbor Racing Stable of Uxbridge, and Pit Bull Stable of River Vale. The colt qualified on Jun. 22 in the same time as his Tuesday mile.

Racing continues at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Thursday, Jul. 4 at 7:10 p.m. EDT.
