Pembroke Prayer crossed over the $1-million mark in career earnings on Thursday afternoon (9-19) at the Farmington (Maine) Fair becoming the only horse ever bred in the state of Maine to achieve millionaire status.

The nine-year-old son of Like A Prayer/Super Earl achieved the rarified status in style, mounting a determined stretch effort to overtake two-time State of Maine Trotter of the Year, Kerogen, in the final strides, claiming victory for the 52nd time in his storied career while stopping the clock in a respectable 1:59.4 in the $4000 fairground event.

Owned in tandem by Mark Ford of Campbell Hall, NY and William Varney of Bangor, Me, Pembroke Prayer is currently housed in the Valerie Grondin stable and was driven to victory on Thursday by Heath Campbell.

He is best remembered in his native state for his upset win over world champion Enough Talk, in the 2010 edition of the $50,000 Joseph Ricci Memorial Trot at Scarborough Downs.
