Veteran driver Dave Ingraham needed a little luck and a little racing room to avenge his previous loss in the $6,000 Winners-Over top pacing class at Cumberland.
On May 18, in his first start back since shipping north from Pompano, Rocksapatriot finished second to Tuesday’s (June 1) betting favourite Airspinder. But, after the latter got caught behind a tiring Twomacsoneshadow going to three-quarters in 1:27.2 and was forced three-wide, Ingraham found racing room and ducked off the pylons in the final turn, brushing the six-year-old son of Rockincam home in 1:57.
Pacesetter Bet On Joe held on for second and Airspinder was third.
Rocksapatriot picked up his 16th win of his career, which has accounted for $109,198 in earnings. This was his third victory of the season, the fastest of which was a 1:53 romp at "the Pomp".
