Columbus, MN - My Kiwi Lady N scored her fourth win of the season, with a solid three length tally in 1:53.1 to take the Tuesday afternoon (September 15) harness racing feature at Running Aces.
Sent off as the 4-5 favorite from her assigned outside seven post, Driver Jacob Cutting floated My Kiwi Lady N off the gate in fourth position and picked up immediate cover as Another Beach Day (Braxten Boyd) was locked in battle early with race leader Amasa Arion (Rick Magee).
The early battle up front produced quick opening fractions of :27.2 and :56 seconds and My Kiwi Lady N benefitted from the live cover all the way into the final turn before tipping three-wide and taking the lead as they swing for home.
My Kiwi Lady N ($3.80) had plenty of pace and drew away from the field in the lane, stopping the timer in 1:53.1 while Motu Moonbeam N (Mooney Svendsen) closed from the back of the pack to be a clear second, and Windmeupnwatchmego (Dean Magee) came from last to nab third.
The winner is a 7 year old daughter of Art Major, owned and trained by Chris Scicluna. She now has fourteen career wins and just eclipsed the century mark in career earnings ($104,392) with today's victory.
Spectacular Sunset (Rick Magee, $4.40) captured the $5,500 two year old Open Pace for his second career win in just three starts. After following in the pocket through the first half mile, Magee came after the leader Alilthundadownunda (Nick Roland) down the backside and these two traded blows all the way to the finish.
After appearing defeated in deep stretch, Spectacular Sunset dug down deep and surged to the wire to secure a one length score in 1:56.3 over Alilthundadownunda with SD Eliminator (Brian Detgen) well back in third.
The winner is a stud colt by Artspeak, owned by Janna Lee Rucker and trained by Magee.
Lakota Law (Dean Magee, $3.00) picked up her fourth straight win when she hit the wire in a 1:55.1 dead heat (with Velocity Layla, Tim Maier, $3.80) in the Tuesday finale. It was a seasonal mark for Lakota Law, owned by Troshu Racing and trained by Ariel Alvarez.
Nat A Cam (Dean Magee, $3.40) notched another win for 99 year old owner Keith "Dudley" Carey, pacing to a new career mark of 1:55.3 for her fourteenth career win. The impressive 4 year old daughter of Millionaire Cam is trained by Justin Anfinson.
Drivers Dean Magee and Jacob Cutting dominated the program on Tuesday, with Magee nabbing four wins for a Grand Slam and Cutting picking up three wins for a Hat-Trick. Cutting also registered two training wins on the day.
