World champion Buck I St Pat turned in a 1:53.3 clocking to take the fastest of two $50,000 eliminations for the Armbro Flight Stakes for older trotting mares on Friday night (July 17) at Mohawk Racetrack.
Buck I St Pat won the fastest Armbro Flight elimination in 1:53.3 with Rick Zeron in the bike.
The other split went to Autumn Escapade, who notched her first win of the 2009 season with a solid 1:54.1 victory.
In the opening contest, Rick Zeron hustled Buck I St Pat off the wings from post 4 and yielded the front to Classic Lane through an opening panel of 27.4. Zeron wasted no time in removing his mare to the front just before the first half of 56.2.
From there, the 6-year-old daughter of Jailhouse Jesse - Name It Something cruised to a 1-1/2 length score with Classic Lane holding the place spot over an onrushing Spice Queen. Buck I St Pat returned $4.20 to win as the bettors’ choice.
It was the fourth win in eight tries this season for the Ron Burke trainee and boosted her career earnings to just over $1.1 million for owners Howard Taylor and Edwin Gold of Pennsylvania along with Abraham Basen of Nevada and R R Fuller of Ohio.
