Pylon-starter Freddy Bear led at every pole to post a 1:55 victory in the $10,000 Horses & Geldings Preferred 3 Pace on Sunday (March 14) at Flamboro Downs. Trainer-driver Jason Ryan floated Freddy Bear to the point as the field aligned in mostly post-position order. By the quarter in :29 and the half in :58.3, Freddy Bear faced a challenge up the backstretch when Exit Smiling pulled first over from third. Exit Smiling ranged towards Freddy Bear by three-quarters in 1:27, but abandoned the pacesetter circling the final turn while the seven-year-old Western Terror stallion strolled to a one-and-three-quarter length victory over pocket-sitter Shades Of Bay. About A Boy finished third.
