Front end trips land fillies in the Grassroots winner's circle at Clinton Raceway
Clinton Raceway wrapped
up its 2016 season with the 36th
annual Driver's Challenge and
the last regular season Grass-
roots event for the three-year-
old pacing fillies.
Although he did not win one
of the four Grassroots divisions,
driver Doug McNair earned the
second Challenge title of his
career, edging out rival Trevor
Henry by three points. McNair's
best Grassroots finish came in
the first $18,000 division, when
he guided Heavenly Bet to a
runner-up effort behind Icthe-
light Hanover.
Starting from Post 3, driver
Jody Jamieson sent fan favour-
ite Icthelight Hanover straight
to the front. and the filly rolled
along through fractions of :28.3,
:58.2 and 1:28 before hitting the
wire two lengths on top in 1:57.
Guelph, ON resident McNair
and Heavenly Bet were second
and Dancin Inthe Nude was
third for driver James
MacDonald.
"That was the first time I've
ever driven her, so it was a nice
ride," said Moffat, ON resident
Jamieson. "She handled the
track real good and simply
jogged"
Jamieson piloted the daugh-
ter of Big Jim and Ifyoucould-
cwhati C to her first sophomore
Grassroots win for trainer Luc
Blais of Lochaber Ouest, QC
and Determination of Mon-
treal, QC. The win will give
Icthelight Hanover an opportu-
nity to extend her three-year-
old Ontario Sires Stakes cam-
paign through the Sept. 16
Grassroots Semi-finals at
Mohawk Racetrack
The second Grassroots divi-
sion went to fan favourite
Maxim Seelster and driver Bob
McClure, who also employed
front-end tactics to secure the
1:57 victory. Local filly Top
Royal, owned by trainer
Heather Toll of Seaforth and
Brydown Farms Inc. of Clinton,
finished one and three-quarter
lengths back in second with
Phil Hudon in the race bike and
McNair was third with More
Than Many.
"She was really very push
button. She couldn't have had
anything else go her way, she
just had everything absolutely
in her favour," said McClure,
who crafted the Big Jim daugh-
ter's second Grassroots win for
trainer Rene Bourassa of Fergus
and M & S Stable Inc. of Rock-
wood, ON. Also I think a bunch
of them at the back got roughed
up, but she had lots left coming
to the wire, for sure:'
McClure enjoyed the Driver's
Challenge, in spite of the fact
that he did not take home the
title.
"It was a lot of fun; we all had
a lot of fun. I think Doug
cheated," said the Elora, ON res-
ident with a laugh. "They had a
big crowd too."
A third front-end effort and
another 1:57 result came in the
next division for driver Phil
Hudon and Glorious Delight.
The filly cruised home two and
one-half lengths ahead of
