After equalling his career best last week, Logan Park returned to Woodbine Mohawk Park on Monday (Oct. 8) evening to trot that same mile for his third win in a row in the $42,000 Free For All Trot.
Oney Hall (Paul MacDonell) achieved the early lead to the opening panel in :27.2, but Logan Park and Doug McNair refused to sit in the pocket for long. McNair tugged on his right line and swept to the top. The pair had a 1-1/2 length advantage over the field at the half in :55.2 before opening it up to 2-1/2 lengths at the three-quarters in 1:23.3. Logan Park was in his element as he cruised to victory in 1:50.3, 2-1/2 lengths in front. Amigo Volo (Louis-Philippe Roy) used a :26.3 last quarter to take second and White Tiger (James MacDonald) sped from seventh to the show spot.
Owned by Outofthepark Stable, Reg Higgs and Arpad Szabo, the five-year-old son of Archangel and the Muscle Mass mare Rite Outa The Park sits just $4,518 shy of a $1 million career milestone. The gelding has earned 10 wins and three seconds in 17 starts this season. Only out of the money on two occasions, he boasts $275,270 earnings this season. Logan Park paid $2.40 to win as the favourite.
