The $4,650 final of the Clayton
Dickison Memorial Series headlines an impressive twelve race card at
Bangor Raceway this coming Sunday.
Jigtime Silencer, one of four horses
that won elimination legs of the Dickison series, drew post two and
enters Sunday's event off three straight sub-two minute wins at Bangor.
Owner and trainer Steve Mahar will be in sulky as the four year old
looks for his fourth consecutive win.
Bill The Dragon, owned by Richard
Seigars of Newport and trained by Don Gallant, also enters the final
with three straight wins and is the only horse in the series to have won
more than one leg.
Firm Forse, who is trained by
Scarborough Downs leading conditioner Fred Ward, and Winning Heart from
the Duke Niles Stable, are the other horses in Sunday's final that won
elimination heats.
The Bartlett Stable's You Slay Me
sports a mark of 1:58 mark this season that is the fastest in the field.
The balance of the Dickison final includes Super Sonny, Rustico Storm
and Chillin Trouble.
The co-feature on Sunday's card is a
$2,500 Winners Over pace. Top billing in the event goes to Perfect
Trick, whose 1:57.1 victory at Scarborough is tied for the fastest mile
of the 2005 season. Doug Beckwith's pacer faces off against the Cushing
Stable's Express Route, Arts Planet from the Don Richards Stable, Gaetan
Cloutier and Maryjane Parker's Sam Francisco Ace and Reggie Dugay's
Black Tie Only.
Post time Sunday at Bangor is at 1:30
P.M.
