| Pinkman earned double millionaire status with this win in the $700,000 Canadian Trotting Classic. |
Hambletonian champion Pinkman added Canada's richest trotting event to his resume, winning the 40th edition of the $700,000 Canadian Trotting Classic on Saturday for trainer Jimmy Takter.
Yannick Gingras pulled 3-5 favourite Pinkman from the pocket after the :27.3 first quarter and overtook the Ron Burke-trained Crazy Wow (Tim Tetrick), who had made the lead from post eight into the first turn. Pinkman then led the field past the half in :56.2 and three-quarters in 1:25.1 with the barefoot The Bank (Dave Miller) parked from post 10 and advancing up to his outside. As they headed into the stretch, Crazy Wow swung outside the top Takter trainees, but Pinkman prevailed over that challenger to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:53.3.
"I feel great," said Gingras after his third stakes victory of the night. "I had some power coming into the night and just hoping the horses showed up and all three of them certainly did."
The Explosive Matter gelding is owned by Takter's wife Christina, John and Jim Fielding, Joyce McClelland and Herb Liverman, who also enjoyed a big night as part of the winning connections of Maple Leaf Trot champion Bee A Magician.
In addition to Pinkman's victory, Takter trainees finished finished third through fifth with Uncle Lasse (Brian Sears), The Bank and French Laundry (Takter) rounding out the payees.
"We campaigned four horses in this race and I thought all four raced tremendous. My job is to try to get the most out of the cake I can and we almost got most of it here," said Takter, adding "Yannick is the cookie monster, I try to keep up with him."
Pinkman's victory gave Gingras and Takter back-to-back wins in the Canadian Trotting Classic following up Father Patrick's 2014 triumph. Owner John Fielding was also a part of the Father Patrick Stable.
"The whole game is fantastic, we have so much fun with it and this horse is no exception," said Fielding. "I'm fortunate to have my brother here and my wife and my family, and of course, Jimmy and Christina and the partners with us. It's a great ride and we have a lot of fun with it. Thankfully, I don't have to do this as a business, but it is a lot of fun just being apart of this game."
Pinkman, who is now 10-for-14 with over $1.5 million in earnings on the year, is expected to race next in the Kentucky Futurity at The Red Mile.
