Dresden Raceway Post time 1:30pm this Sunday!!

It will be take two for the start of the Mark Austin
Pacing Series at Dresden Raceway after poor track condition washed out the
first week. The Mark Austin Pacing Series for Non-winners of a race or $5,000 is
expected to be a dog fight.
The four favourites in the first leg of the series, Township Willy, Denmark
Seelster, Toxic Hanover and Kid Genius are spread throughout three different
divisions but are destined to meet in the future.
Leading driver, Tyler Borth will be in the bike for Township Willy in the first
division for owners Mark and Stanley Zipkin and trainer Rene Dion. The three-
year-old Sportswriter colt stepped off his back half in 58 second flat in his first
start back last week at Georgian downs in finished third in 1:58.4.
Township Willy will be battling Denmark Seelster and Chris Johnston in the
second division. Denmark Seelster is owned and trained by Jerry Sims. The
three-year-old Big Jim gelding faded last start in Sarnia after being parked to
three quarters in 1:26 flat but put in a gutsy performance the start before with a
57.3 back half at Western Fair for a third place finish.
Toxic Hanover is the 7-5 favourite in the second division for owner/trainer Jack
Darling and driver Tyler Borth. The three-year-old Somebeachsomewhere colt
was beat by half a length in the Sharpes Series elimination in Hanover last week
in 1:56.4 with a back half of 58 second flat.
Kid Genius is the morning line favourite in the final flight of the Austin Series.
The four-year-old Shadow Play gelding is co-owned by Chris Cain and trainer
Allan Steeves with Nick Steward at the controls. Kid Genius had a wire to wire
win two starts ago in 1:57 at Western Fair Raceway.
Dresden Raceway is still waiting on word whether there will be racing on June
30 as a make-up date for last week’s rain out. All papers have been filed and
OLG has the final say.
Post time for this Sunday’s card is slated for 1:30pm.
