2- 1h Canadien Champion, Tuesday, February 8, 2000 w r r ' a k Motor City Smitty drives away with victory kI~ uÀir'ak It wasn't a showdown in N1otown hui foi a daîîîp trid.îy night in February at Mohawk, Motor City Smitty put on a pretty fancy show just the same in the $54.600 final of the Snowshoe Pacing Series. Driven by tramner and co-owner Carînan Hie, the handsome four- year-old Dexter Nukes gelding sprinted home to win goi ng away by two lengths over runner-up and co-favourite Mattarocket in 1:55.2. Motor City Smitty, named aller flashy former Toronto Maple Leafs Winger and current Colorado Avalanche scout Brad Smith, won for the seventh lime in osly 13 caicer opoifonities. Incidentally, Smith - who was ptcased t0 Iearn about his namesake - planned on attending the race, but was called out ot town with a hockey commit- ment Friday momning. He plans on catching up with Motor City Smitty in the near future. Mattarocket made an aggressive move to the front after a :28,1 opening quarter and held the lead until mid-stretch. For awhile up the backstretch, it appeared Motor City Smitty was in some dit- ficulty, locked in fifth on the rail. However, Bodice Ripper tired * Ho of <e Beat just outside of hlm, allowing the smooth-galted gelding to stick han- die his way out. Once clear, he skated toward the front, then scored. Hear A Rhapsody, the early leader, closed up the rail to edge Mr. Casino for the show position.
