Now that the Maine Sire Stakes have crowned their champions, many of the star three-year-old pacers are still itching for action in the Pine Tree State.

Once again, First Tracks Cumberland welcomes the $200,000-plus Maine Sire Stakes for two-year-old Pine Tree State-bred harness horses on Saturday, Sept. 30, being held on the final day of the 151st Cumberland Fair.

Two $15,000-plus divisions of Pine Tree State-sired sophomore pacers highlighted the Friday, Sept. 29 program at Cumberland Fair, with the speedy side-steppers performing in their penultimate legs of the rich Maine Sire Stakes.

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.
