Betting Line Conquers $204,040 Simcoe Stakes

 

Betting Line had a lot of ground to make up heading into the final quarter of the rich tilt, but he did it for driver David Miller who rallied the Casie Coleman pupil to the 1:49.1 triumph.

Miller got away in mid-pack with the son of Bettors Delight-Heathers Western, and he remained there throughout the first half while Lyons Snyder buzzed the field through fractions of :27 and :54. Lyons Snyder was still the boss at the three-quarter pole in 1:20.4, and Betting Line was more than eight lengths away while gearing up on the outside. A :26.4 closing quarter by Betting Line propelled him to the half-length score over Lyons Snyder. Voracity was third.

It was the eleventh straight win for Betting Line, who is owned by West Wins Stable, Christine Calhoun and Mac Nichol. The 17-time winner is closing in on $1.3 million in seasonal earnings. He’s stashed away $1,831,942 in his career.
