Six wins for Bailey at Vernon

Leading harness racing driver Leon Bailey drove six winners on the card including a win in the $8,500 featured Open Trot with Woodside Gabe (Dover Dan) at Vernon Downs on Friday (October 25).

In the feature Discus Hanover (Ron Harp) went to the front and led to the quarter in :26.4.  Woodside Gabe ($15.00) came flying first-up and went to the front and was first to the half in :56.4.  He controlled things to three-quarters in 1:24.3.

As they reached the stretch Discus Hanover popped the pocket and went all out after the leader.  Woodside Gabe found another gear and won easily equaling his lifetime best of 1:53.4.  Free Willy Hanover (Chris Long) came up to finish second.  Sevenshotsobourbon (Tom Merton) was third.

Woodside Gabe is a 4-year-old gelding.  He is trained by Amanda Bailey for owners Joe Facin Jr. and David Faile.  It was his fifth win this season and his 11th career victory.
