After posting a win and a second-place finish in his assignments in the preliminary legs of the Wilson’s Tack Claiming Series at The Raceway at Western Fair District, True Horizon used her rallying skills to take home all the marbles in Monday’s $14,000 final.
Colin Kelly got away fourth with True Horizon, who watched race favourite Taydertotzz and Godiva Mackiavelyc battle to the quarter pole in :28.3 before Taydertotzz brushed to the top. She went on to post a half-mile clocking of :58.4 before coming under attack from True Horizon, who rallied first over and showed a short lead while racing parked past the three-quarter marker in 1:28.2. A :30.4 closing quarter is all that True Horizon needed to win by a length over Godiva Mackiavelyc in 1:59.1. Siboney rounded out the Trifecta ticket in the affair for distaffers.
Trainer Jake Roberts co-owns the seven-year-old daughter of Vertical Horizon-The Three Of Us with Steve Adams of Toronto, ON. The 17-time winner now owns a 3-1-0 record from seven trips to the track this season. The $7,000 payday bumped her lifetime bankroll to $106,623 with the win.
