Plato setties down Barbecue and to main real success bowl at club's Driver Ray Schnittker described Aninbro Plato as "a lunatie" on the racetrack last season, but what a difference a year makes. The new and improved three-year-old Armbro Plato gave Schnittker bis firat of what could be multiple Ontario Sires Stakes trotting tities with a convincing five and three-quarter Iengtb win in the recent $101,720 Gold Series final for colts and geldings. Starting from post position nine in the second tier, Schnittker waited for the traffic to clear before steering the Balanced Image gelding to the front past the opening quarter. Once he was safely in command, Armbro Plato Ieft little doubt as to the eventual out- corne, before stopping the teletimer in 1:59 for his fourth consec- utive win. Proudfoot, with an impressive closing brush of bis own, finished second for Carman Hie, with Coon Creek third. "H-e was kind of a lunatic last year," said Schnittker, wbo decided to geld Armbro Plato after his final start last November in hope of settling him down. "He was still pretsy goofy training down this year, (but) now he acta like's he's more manageable. 1 don't know if he's the best of them but he can stay with anybody if htay ound." Last year tumed into a roller coaster campaign for Armbro Plato. After qualifying for the rich Peter Haughton final he missed the race due to sickness and then was sbelved again with a cracked knee. StilI, he managed to win three of eight starts including a track record 1:58.1 mile at Pocono Downs. Armbro Plato, who was coupled with stablemate Captain Claude as the prohibitive I-5 betting entry, picked up $50,860 for the victory to boost bis season eamings to $168,619. Bis career eamings now stand at $233,845. With the number of local stakes races, Schnittker said Armbro Plato will spend moat of bis schedule in Ontario. "He bas the Colonial, the Canadian (Trotting) Classic, the Simcoe, of course the Sires Stakes and the Breedera Crown here," Scbnittker said. "Actually he only leaves back for the (United) States once for the Hambletonian. A lot of guys asked me why 1 didn't stake him to the Yonkers Trot and aIl this but at the time be was pretty goofy and pulling and lugging. 1 knew he bad the speed but 1 didn't know if he could control it." The OSS trot final ended the Mohawk spring scbedule. Stan- dardbred racing moved to Woodbine Racetrack for the sommer .
