Wind Blown keeps the wins flowing

Wind Blown returned to dominance on Friday as he smashed his rivals in the feature harness racing pace at Truro Raceway by more than 12 lengths.

After missing the start by a length, trainer and driver Bernard McCallum sent the gelding forward on the pylons to secure third position. McCallum pulled him to the outside and pointed him to the front as the field of seven entered the backstretch, and the duo reached the lead after completing the first quarter mile in :27.2.

McCallum’s job was complete at that point – Wind Blown set a :56.3 half and obliterated the field in the back half, hitting three-quarters in 1:25.2 while up by four and a half lengths and storming to the finish for a 12¾ length victory in 1:54.1.

Imalookertoo (Danny Romo) won the contest for second after closing from last. Dont Ask Logan (Mary Clare Macdonald) finished third.

WIND BLOWN REPLAY

Wind Blown lived up to the 1/5 billing with the win, his fifth in his past six starts after shipping to Truro and entering McCallum’s barn. He lost for the first time in 2021 on Jul. 17 in the Lindsay Plate. The four-year-old son of Mach Three’s overall record is eight-for-37 lifetime with $115,330 in earnings. Douglas E Polley and Douglas R Polley of Amherst own the horse with Gordon and Joanne McComb of Paris (Ont.).

Truro Raceway will see live racing again on Sunday, Aug. 1.
