Myfriendjose Superb In Mohawk Feature

Myfriendjose made a second-quarter move to the lead, was pressured through the back half, and pulled away down the stretch to win the $26,000 conditioned trotting feature on Sunday, March 22 at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The gelding started third as Kadiddle (Scott Young) eased to the front from post seven and put up a :28 first quarter. Flushed out by Amazing Catch (James MacDonald) as they entered the backstretch, Myfriendjose slid off the pylons and powered to the lead before the half in :57.3 and was immediately under attack from Amazing Catch.

Amazing Catch grinded forward and was head-to-head with Myfriendjose at three-quarters in 1:26.1. Those two warred down the lane and were on even terms with an eighth of a mile to go, but Myfriendjose had more in reserve than his rival and drew clear by 2-1/4 lengths for the 1:54.4 victory. Amazing Catch finished second, followed by Ways N Means (Paul MacDonell).
