Cat Has A Kitten kept her perfect sophomore season intact on Sunday (8/3)
as the graceful Maine-bred won her fifth consecutive start and her 4th in
a row in Maine Sire Stakes competition.
Deftly handled by driver Heath Campbell, the three-year-old daughter of Western
Cyclone-Lady Katie pounced to the lead just past the half and then proceeded
to toy with the competition, like a calico would a captured mouse, before
extending out to a 3-1/2 length margin at the wire in a more than adequate
time of 1:57.2.
The "ferocious feline", owned in tandem by Anthony Sivik, Jr and the KDK Standardbreds
and who is trained by noted stakes conditioner, Valerie Grondin, claimed the
lion's share of the $12,462 purse.
Eat Your Enemy (John Nason) saw her own undefeated season come to a conclusion
while settling for the runner-up placing while Ms Casey Mac (Gary Mosher)
held firm for the show.
Live racing is proudly featured at Scarborough Downs on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday at 4:30 p.m. (EDT). The Sunday matinee gets underway at 1:30.
