Down Under Winners from North America – 4th March

Ludacrous, a six-year-old Art Major mare, sat parked before setting a new lifetime mark of 1:51.8 winning a $16,000 race at Dover Downs on Wednesday night (February 26). It was her second straight harness racing success at the five-eighths mile Delaware track. 

LUDACROUS REPLAY

The A Rocknroll Dance gelding It’s Rock And Roll took full advantage of a pocket trip to win a $25,000 Open Handicap by a head in 1:51.8 at Dover Downs on Thursday night (February 27). 

Spring In His Step, a Victorian bred son of Somebeachsomewhere, worked to the front in the early part and then was untroubled to win the $25,000 fast class pace at Pocono Downs on Saturday (March 1). He clocked a slick 1:51.8 in near freezing conditions.
