Always B Miki Equals World Record
The 2016 edition of the $500,000 Ben Franklin lived up to its hype with a stellar cast of Free-For-All pacers producing a world record equalling performance on Sun Stakes Saturday (July 2) at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono. Always B Miki ultimately held off Freaky Feet Pete and Wiggle It Jiggleit in a battle of the elimination winners.
Always B Miki ($5.20) completed a sweep of his elimination and the final with back-to-back 1:47 world record miles for a five-eighth-mile track. The time matches Sweet Lou’s record that was set in the Ben Franklin final two years ago.
The anticipation for this year's Ben Franklin stemmed from Always B Miki and Freaky Feet Pete producing world records in last week's eliminations and fellow top-ranked elim winner Wiggle It Jiggleit joining them to face off for the first time in a race. Not to mention, the field of 10 consisted of seven horses that have won in 1:48 or faster.
Wiggle It Jiggleit (Montrell Teague) was the first of the heavyweights to fire in the final from post three with Freaky Feet Pete (Trace Tetrick), who won his elimination in a 1:47.1 world record for a four-year-old pacing horse on a five-eighth-mile track, sprinting out from post six to take command after the first eighth of a mile. Meanwhile, David Miller also had Always B Miki advancing outside from post seven and they cleared to command past the :25.4 first quarter mark.
As Always B Miki raced to the half in :53, Wiggle It Jiggleit tipped out and moved up alongside the leader. They battled head-to-head past three-quarters in 1:19.2 and turned for home with Freaky Feet Pete shooting through the passing lane and Mel Mara (Corey Callahan) rallying wide outside from fourth after second over Always At My Place (Yannick Gingras) gapped cover. Down the stretch, Always B Miki ultimately held off Freaky Feet Pete to win by three-quarters of a length while Wiggle It Jiggleit finished two lengths behind in third over Mel Mara.
"I didn't think that I would be on the lead by the half," said David Miller after the race. "I definitely wanted to be close to them other two, for sure, so I did score him [down before the race] and got him a little wound up. I thought there would be a few more inside of me pushing off pretty hard, but I didn't figure on lining up and cutting it.
"We were pacing pretty hard up the backstretch there and both of us looked like we were pretty comfortable. Around the last turn, I asked my horse and he went on and finished it off.
"I expected Wiggle It Jiggleit to come back, but 'Miki' raced very well, he raced very tough, as we were hoping he would."
Jimmy Takter trains the five-year-old son of Always A Virgin and Artstopper for his wife Christina and co-owners Bluewood Stable and Roll The Dice Stable.
Luck Be Withyou ($6.60) put on a show of his own in the $75,000 Franklin Consolation. With the inside post position, driver George Napolitano Jr. fired last year's Ben Franklin champion off the gate forcing favourite Rockin Ron (Yannick Gingras) into the two-hole and repelling outsider Limelight Beach (Jim Morrill Jr.) through opening panels of :25.4 and :52.4. The five-year-old son of Western Ideal out of Trim Hanover then raced past three-quarters in 1:19.4 and held clear on top down the lane en route to a 1:47.4 career-best victory for trainer Chris Oakes and owner John Craig of North York, Ont. Cooperstown (Scott Zeron) followed one and three-quarter length behind in second along the pylons while Rockin Ron finished third after pulling the pocket in the stretch.
