Stratton horsemanship on last turn SAVED the day for the VERY EXCELLENT half miler COVERED BRIDGE.
Jamieson 1 forced him three wide and he almost lost him...once gathered drove home past the 'already-waiting for-him' Scott Young and the Gillis stablemate #5

BRAVO WHIPTHERABBIT.  Mansize win and ex.

Marc Campbell came out on Jody and pushed him out. Almost took his legs out. Watch Jody give him a piece of his mind after the wire.

Yes Lance, Campbell onto Jamieson onto Stratton. Very close to a real final turn mess.

U.S. connections got 2/3 of the 100gs can. purse this time.. Thats 70gs can breeders, etc dont get.  And thats the way it goes with open company 49th parallel racing. Big harness both sides of border.  Play for keeps. As it should be.

Never before saw what Stratton did after race. Walked horse on the outside fence, let a few fans pet horse’s head. Shook some hands, posed for selfies. Amazing that the horse was so calm after going that trip.

This is a great video of last nights race. Can feel the excitement. Great to see Stratton taking his time and enjoying the fans heading back to the winners circle.  They enjoyed it.
