Maine’s two-year-old pacing fillies stormed through historic Bass Park a day early with two $14,000-plus divisions, in a successful pre-emptive strike on Friday, Sept. 15 against the potential havoc of Hurricane Lee.
Maine’s three-year-old pacing colts and geldings got away from the fairgrounds and invaded historic Bass Park in Bangor for two $14,000-plus divisions of the Sire Stakes and when the dust settled, it was the Tardif Taskforce that came away with the lion’s share of the hardware after sweeping both events but not without significant effort.
Team Tardif’s Two Fold Cold has provided his owner/trainer with an emotional rollercoaster this season. Winning the fastest $14,487 division of the Maine Sire Stakes for two-year-old pacing colts on Saturday, Sept. 2 at Windsor is only part of the story.
