Gary Mosher continued his firm stranglehold on the top spot of the leader’s board by casting a spell over the Scarborough Downs oval on Saturday (4/6), winning five of the ten races on the program, posting a total of 9 wins over the first four performances of the 2013 harness racing meet.

Players Ball and Michael DeRuntz stop the Gary Mosher juggernaut, upsetting Wholly Louy on Saturday at Scarborough Downs on Saturday .
Included in the tally were River Waltz N (1:58), Henry’s Choice (2:01), Escape Attack (1:59.2), I Love Too Much (2:04), and Gracie Gracie (1:57).

Nearly trumping Mosher’s effort and keeping the meet’s top stick from securing a 6th win of the day, Michael DeRuntz, upset-minded with Players Ball, shocked the crowd by besting 2012 Pacer of the Year, Wholly Louy, in an epic mile timed 1:56.2. That clocking represents the fastest race time recorded yet this season at Scarborough Downs. DeRuntz engineered a rare driver/trainer double on Saturday, claiming victory in the finale with his pacer, Nothings Ever Free.
