WILKES-BARRE PA – Made Of Dreams continued her recent run of good harness racing form upon shipping from Saratoga to Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania on Tuesday afternoon, winning her third race in her last five trips to the gate with a lifetime best 1:53.3 mile in the $15,500 headliner trot.
The Chapter Seven sophomore filly bided time outside after the start then was put into gear shortly past the eighth by driver Braxten Boyd, making the lead just past a :28 quarter and then keeping control through middle fractions of :57 and 1:25. Master Of Dreams double her lead from 1¾ lengths entering the final turn to 3½ lengths going under the wire.
MADE OF DREAMS REPLAY
In five starts since taking off trotting hopples, Made Of Dreams has the three victories, a second in the New York Excel Series final in her race before the Tuesday win, and a checkgetting effort in a Delmonica Hanover consolation here at Pocono. She was put in the care of trainer Per Engblom since a recent purchase by Peaceful Acre Farm.
Braxten Boyd, who had three winners on the day to tie meet leader Tyler Buter and Simon Allard for the day’s honors, also guided the winner of one of the two $14,500 pacing co-features. The Control The Moment gelding Shining Moment was also successful in his second start for new connections, in his case trainer Bill Mullin and owner Howard Taylor, with Boyd rallying the three-year-old from far back to be along in time in 1:54.
The faster pacing co-headliner was the 1:52.1 mile of Master Of The House, which saw the three-year-old altered son of Cattlewash leave in :26.3 to the lead then tack on identical :27.4 panels coming home to complete the victory. Simon Allard was in the sulky for trainer Chris Choate and owners Timothy Drag, James Crawford IV, and Rich Preziotti.
Pocono is currently racing on a Saturday-Monday-Tuesday schedule, and thus the next local card will be held on Saturday at 1 p.m. Free Pocono program pages are or will be available at www.phha.org.
