There is no stopping Sectionline Bigry

For the past two months there has been no one that can stop Sectionline Bigry from winning as the seven-year-old posted his fifth straight harness racing win Friday at Harrah’s Hoosier Park.

The ninth race $22,000 Open Pace saw Big Gulp and driver Brandon Bates first on the lead with Blank Stare and driver Trace Tetrick grabbing the two-hole spot as they raced by the opening quarter mile in :27.3.

Tetrick then sent Blank Stare to the front, and he led the field past the half mile marker in :55.4.

Then before the final turn, driver Brett Miller moved out of fourth place and came first-over with the race favorite Sectionline Bigry. Following second-over was Kneedeep N Custard (Sam Widger) as they went by the three-quarters in 1:25.

Starting down the stretch, Sectionline Bigry was finally able to collar Blank Stare and then kicked in another gear to pull away from the field and win in a romp by four open lengths in 1:50.2. Little Rocket Man (John Delong) was last at the top of the stretch and closed to nose out Big Gulp for second place honors.
