Rescheduled, due to a rained out event last Sunday, the third annual Vic Hayter Memorial Trot was the featured event of Clinton Raceway’s 13 race card of live racing, and it was P C Dream Ticket that took home all the glory.
After having started from Post 2 in the eight-horse romp, P C Dream Ticket ($6.90) and driver Colin Kelly fought hard to bring home the hardware in the $12,500 Vic Hayter Memorial Trot.
P C Dream Ticket is owned by Jared Bako, Taylor Fritz, Christopher Jewitt and John Gray. The winner’s share of the purse surged P C Dream Ticket’s seasonal earnings past the $17,000 mark. Now winning three of his 10 seasonal assignments and 12 of his 72 career starts, he has banked more than $119,000 in lifetime purses.
Family of the late Vic Hayter were on hand to make the winner's circle presentation to the connections.
The Lake Huron Pony Club held their Day at the Races Fundraising, working together with the two charities (OSAS and the Stratford Perth Humane Society) from the previous rained out Sunday. The Pony Club was able to raise over $3400 from the event through a BBQ, bake sale, raffle and 50/50.
Race fans were also treated to two miniature horse exhibition races and a meet and greet with the pint sized ponies, and the second of three trackside local markets added to the day's festivities.
The Huron County Oval took time to celebrate the caretakers of the industry with winner's circle presentations, complimentary lunches and prize draws, while the impressive live race handle topped the $44,000 mark.
Live harness racing resumes this Sunday (August 5) when the OSS will make their second trip to the country and the Huron Perth Lakers host their trackside fundraiser.
