Seascape Hanover (Camluck-Skateboard) claimed the $8,000
feature race at Vernon Downs on Thursday night to extend her winning streak to
three in the month of July. This win, however, was a move up in company as she
scored in an Open I pace and did it impressively, powering away from her
competition in the lane to win by six lengths in 1:52. Seascape Hanover (Aaron
Byron) took control before the field moved to the first turn and led the way
through fractions of 27.2 for the quarter, 55.2 for the half, and 1:23.2 for
three quarters. Artic Byrd (Truman Gale) was second through the early stages
before being passed by a first-over Oceans Motion (Brian Connor). However,
Oceans Motion stalled in the stretch and Artic Byrd was able to get back into
the second spot at the finish. The complete order of finish was: Seascape
Hanover, Artic Byrd, Oceans Motion, Upfront Secret, and Always Flash-n.
Seascape Hanover is owned by Tessa Roland of Grinnell, Iowa
and Mark Jakubik of West Seneca, New York. The trainer is Mario Dessureault.
