For the third time in his last four starts, Indiana Hall got the better of the foes he faced in the $15,000 Preferred Trot at Western Fair Raceway
.
Trevor Henry took the Tuesday feature with the Ian Downey trainee, who shrugged off a third quarter challenge en route to scoring as the 1-2 favourite.
Indiana Hall, was parked by Long Ago past the quarter pole in :27.3 before being released to the top. Once he drove to the lead, he never looked back. He backed down the tempo in the second quarter and had seven rivals chasing him to the mid-way point in :59.1. He came under attack from Chewey all the way to the three-quarter pole in 1:28.4 before turning aside that rival and turning on the jets. A :30.1 final quarter helped Indiana Hall cruise home by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:59. Zorgwijk Jock came on to finish second, with My Rebelious Ways grabbing the show dough.
The eight-year-old son of Striking Sahbra-Inverlochy is owned by S S G Stables of North Boston, NY. The 43-time winner has put together a 13-7-6 record this year from 32 trips to the track. The gelding has stashed away in excess of $118,000 this season and more than $705,352 to date.
