Flamboro Downs Race 3

Race 3

Prize Money: $8,352

LYONS KING (1) had to call on all reserves to score last start over 1609m at this track, getting home by just half a metre. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Won't find this any harder and he can salute once again. BIG BULLY (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 6 metres from the winner in fourth over 1609m at Mohawk Park. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to take care of this field. OUR MAX PHACTOR (5) is a big chance following a run of three top-three finishes, the latest at Western Fair Raceway a week-and-a-half ago. Real threat to the top selections. HAPUNA BEACH (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at this track over 1609m.

Showed ability the race before when he won by a neck at this track (1:55.10) beating Dusty Lane Morgan in HCP G on March 27 at $4.20 at the bell was leading. Look for improvement on last start.
