It may be a new season, but it was the same old result for Hyway Marcus, as he extended his Racing Under Saddle win streak with a victory in the opening leg of the RUS MidAtlantic Trotting Series at Ocean Downs on Sunday (July 15).
Owner/trainer Sasha Moczulski rode the seven-year-old trotter to a comfortable 2:04.2 victory over his opposition, which had been reduced by one due to an injury to One True Friend, which resulted in a scratch from the contest..
The Ashley Eldred-ridden Traverse Seelster finished second and the Vanessa Karlewicz-ridden Flowing James was third.
The margin of victory was more than six lengths.
The RUS MidAtlantic series will now take a break. It will return on Sunday, September 16 at Rosecroft Raceway.
