Down Under Winners from North America – 29nd October

The Art Major mare Bout Damn Time, who was bred by Yabby Dam Farms principal Pat Driscoll, captured the biggest win of her harness racing career when she won the $29,800 final of the Bunny Lake Pacing Series at Saratoga Raceway on Monday (October 21). 

BOUT DAMN TIME A REPLAY

After settling midfield, the five-year-old powered off the fence with three-eighths of a mile to go and eventually collared the leader in the home straight in 1:55. It was her eighth win from 14 starts. 

Slip The Hundy (by Sir Lincoln) led in an ANZAC quinella in the $15,000 Open with General Montana second at Saratoga Raceway on Saturday night (October 26). 

The seven-year-old led from end-to-end in 1:53.6 to notch his 10th win for the season from 30 starts.
