L~e 1BBLDM!l v0 Storm doesn 't dampen Doc's bid for victory Not esien a 24-hour delay could deter the 'Doctor' from delivering on cail in the $80,500 final of the Mohawk Pacing Series for three- year-old colts. Dispîaying the exact preci- sion of a aurgeon, Dor Vinaîl confidently rolled pat horses in the stretch to capture thse event for Milton driver Chris Cbristoforou in 1:53.2. Gehrig, after leaving alertly for pocket poaition from the nine hole, was two-and-a-half lengths bock in second while Doc VinalI's stablemate, Ready Steady Go, rut thse mille but had to settle for third. Storm delays race TIse race was contested as a non-wagering affair belore tIse start of thse regular Saturday program after a severe electri- cal storm Friday taight wiped out thse balance of thse card after seven races. As expected, Ready Steady Go utilized bis swift early foot bo take thse field through thse quarter in :27.3 and :56.3 for thse hall with Gebrig neatly tucked in second. Doc Vinaîl, a bay son of No Nukes, calmly took back in sixth until Christoforou - retumning from an ankle minr -began hais charge attIse haîf and narrowed tIse gap on tIse leaders by tIse 1:25 three-quar- ter mark. Upon reaching tIse straight- ,Ho of Beat away, the Doc sailed on by for the victory. Trained by Nat Varty for owner Perfect World Enterprises, Doc Vinaîl has tumned into a terrfie investment after his purchase for $72,000 US at thse Meadowlands Sale in January. Since moving int the Varty stable, Doc Vinait boasts seven wins, one second and three thirds for carninga of $124,512. His lifetime bankroll now reads $152,960. "He's a tough horse and 1 thought first over would be toll bad if the fractions were right and they were," said Chnistoforou. "After tonight's performance he fits in wjth the top colts. Once 1I pulled the plugs at the top of the stretch he took off and about 100 yards frora thse wire I took a hold ot him. He was a strong winner." Next Up for the speedy sophomore is a trip to Pocono Downs for this weekend's eliminations of the Miller Memorial. The Mohawk Pacing Series was open to three-year-olds who were non-winnera of $50,000 mn 1999. Sundlay, Me_ 981th, 2000 10:45 AM - 12:30 PM l« LUNE from Derry Road to Britannia Road a? 4e, .
