The 2017 Simcoe Stakes wrapped up Saturday with two harness racing events for three-year-old pacers at Mohawk Racetrack.
By American Ideal from the Artsplace mare Lover Of Art, Art Scene, owned by Brittany Farms and In The Gym Partners, won his third race in 14 starts, earning $256,636. Trained by Tony Alagna and driven by Scott Zeron, he paid $4.40 to win.
"He has raced really well in his last two races over at Yonkers but [he] was impressive," Scott Zeron said. "I drove him at Tioga [Downs for the Empire Breeders Classic]; he was good in the elimination, and in the final he was just a bit disappointing, then he bounced back great at Yonkers and tonight as well.
"We really had to be patient with him. Tony [Alagna] did a great job with him all throughout the year - we really thought he'd be a top colt at the beginning, but it took us awhile to get to the point we're at right now, but it's exciting to have a horse finishing off the year and peaking right now - there's still a lot left."
Bettors Up catapulted off cover, drawing away by open lengths to take the $163,872 Simcoe Three-Year-Old Filly Pace in 1:50.
Stonebridge Sundae sent for the front from the inside, setting a :26 quarter before sitting the pocket to Obvious Blue Chip moving into the backstretch. Even-money favourite Idyllic Beach tipped first over through a :54.2 half, advancing towards Obvious Blue Chip and coming a neck from the lead at three-quarters in 1:22.3.
Carried into contention second over, Bettors Up fanned wide into the stretch, sweeping by Idyllic Beach to take the lead coming into the final eighth. Dudesalady tracked her move to take second as Stonebridge Sundae slid into the mix moving into third approaching the line, both passing Idyllic Beach, who settled for fourth.
