Ramborain flys home in lifetime best

Ramborain (Josh Kinney) captures the featured $7,500 harness racing trot at Vernon Downs on Friday (June 6).

Century Invader (Leon Bailey) went to the front and led to the quarter in :26.2.  He used a :28.3 second quarter to be first to the half in :55.0.  Emotions Riches (Chris Long) came first-up to challenge going around the final turn and was first to three-quarters in 1:24.2.

As they made the turn for home second place finisher Emotions Riches looked poised to win but Ramborain ($7.50) had other ideas.  He came flying down the stretch to win in a lifetime best of 1:55.0.  Pay Me Tonight (Doug Maura) finished third.

Ramborain is a 4-year-old gelding by Crazy Wow.  He is trained by Dan Daley for owners Ann-Mari Daley, Margerot Waterbury, Todd Van Alstine, and JLRL LLC.  It was his third win this season.  He now has nine career victories.
