“Kisses” continues winning at The Spa

Moonshine Kisses (Sunshine Beach) continued his hot streak on Saturday night (Oct. 29) at Saratoga Casino Hotel when the Jackie Greene trainee rattled off his third consecutive harness racing win in the local Open Pace.

The six-year-old, who has split his season between Saratoga and mostly Plainridge Park, put the swoop to the group once again in Saturday’s $16,000 Open when he went last to first with reinsman Jay Randall at the controls. Moonshine Kisses prevailed in last weekend’s Open Pace when he pulled off a last-to-first move to stop the timer in 1:53.

In his repeat effort, the star pacer again overcame his outside post by cruising past his rivals late to score in 1:53.3 in what was his eighth victory of the 2022 campaign and his third in the local Open in the month of October. On Saturday, he paid $4.80 as the race’s 7-5 betting favorite. Pocket Of Terror A (Brett Beckwith) was the runner-up in the feature while longshot Crockets Cullen N (Larry Stalbaum) earned the show spot.

The exacta and triple in the race returned $14.80 and $179.50, respectively. Moonshine Kisses is owned by the Kellogg Racing Stables of Queensbury, NY.
