Lots of up-sets at Mohawk Saturday in Classic Series It was not tbe nigbt of tbe favourites as tbe lucrative Classie Series was contested at Mobawk Saturday in second leg action. Witb six big Classie events on tbe card, tbe lone cbalk to come tbrougb was tbe class of tbe FFA trotters in 2001, Magician. Owned by William Augenstein, trained by Earl Cruise and driven by David Miller, tbe Royal Prestige wonder took tbe lead before tbe baîf and romped by four lengtbs in tbe $129,200 Trotting Classie. Tbe time was 1:55. Magician bas already made over $221,000 tis year and over $2.1 million lifetime. Mark King started tings off witb a bang as be guid- ed is Leatber Hocklear to a 15-I upset in tbe $68.400 Classic Oaks irst division. Hocklear came tbree-wide at tbree-quarters, poked a nose in front at tbe stretcb and won by one-and-a-quarter lengtbs in 1:56.4. King also trains and owns tbe A Wortby Lad mare trotter. Tbe beavy favourite Fero didn't ire at .15 odds. She was seventb. 'Me second Classie Oaks was even more surprising, and it was tbe major sbocker of tbe nigbt as tbe Richard Beinbauer-owned, trained and driven four- year-old mare Spring Melody at 95-I took a cover trip and parlayed it into a bead victory in 1.56. Sbe paid $19240 to win. It was just tbe second win in 12 starta this year for Spring Melody, wbo earlier in tbe year tinisbed fiftb in tIhe Horsemen's Trot at Woodbine. Thse 8-5 favourite Rum Boogie still can't find ber best stride on a consistent basis and was seventb. Mare pacers were next on the agenda and Etemnal Camnation went off as an uncharacteristie 7-I to take thse Classie Distaf flrst division, wicb offered a $68,400 purse. Thse Camo Fella four-year-old mare, driven by Homnby's Randy Waples, got out fiftb and ranged into contention by following the cover of Lifetime Member and sprinted off by two lengtbs at the wire to win in 1:52.4. Hoof Beat Camnation is owned by Etemal Camnation Stable and trained by Jeff Miller. It was ber first win in three starts tbis year. Sbe goes well over $1.2 million in ber career. Yes Its True, who earlier in the year won 14 races in a row, went off as the 2-5 favourite based on her Classie Distati win at Dover, but bad no pop for tbe stretcb and inisbed fourth. Ventura 2000 Stable's Cammibest, trained by Mayotte, was a pocket rocket as be won tbe $129200 Pacing Classie in 1:5 1. At 12- 1, it was an overlay as Cammibest has been irst or second in is last tbree starts. Camotion and Baillargeon, also 12-I1, were the pace- setters and were a solid second. Third went to 55-I Life Source, witb Zeron. The 4-5 favourite Royalflusb Hanover bad a perfect second over tip and linisbed fourtb. The second $68,400 Classie Distafi produced only a mild upset as tbe 2-1 Only The Best, a younger full- sister to Cammibest, owned by Jef Langfelder and Epbraim Spielman, trained by Nat Varty and driven by Miltonian Chris Christoforou, used a :27.0 final quar- ter towin by abead in 1:51.4. Sanabelle Island, witb Steve Warrington drivingjust got caugbt at tbe wire as tbe pacesetter and 4-5 favourite tbird was Fast Lane, driven by Saftic. Magician won is fourtb straigbt race tbis year in tbe Trotting Classie.
