All-time trotting record broken at London

The Great Reset (Resolve) trotted the fastest mile in the history of The Raceway at the Western Fair District on Tuesday (May 21) in the conditioned feature.

Jason Ryan put him on the lead going toward the first turn, but Marvin Hagler (Brett MacDonald) pulled the pocket to take over at the quarter in :27.3. The Great Reset sat the pocket as the new leader trotted middle splits of :57.3 and 1:26.4.

Marvin Hagler led into the stretch but came to blows with The Great Reset as the latter swung to the outside. The pacesetter offered a strong fight, but The Great Reset pulled ahead late to win by three-quarters-of-a-length in 1:55.3, breaking the track’s all-age record.

Marvin Hagler finished second, two-and-a-half lengths ahead of Takeapeek At Me (Garrett Rooney).

The previous record, a fifth-of-a-second slower, was set by Duly Resolved in 2022.

THE GREAT RESET REPLAY

The Great Reset is now five-for-15 on the year for trainer Lorne House. The gelding, an Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots contender last year, set a new career best with the track record performance. He has won 11 of 55 career starts and has earned $132,106. House co-owns the four-year-old with Chantal Ruijs of Georgian Bluffs.

Tyler Borth was the night’s top driver with five wins.

The Raceway at the Western Fair District continues action on Wednesday, May 22 at 5:50 p.m. EDT.
