Aussie and Kiwi shine in USA

FORMER New Zealand pacer Jack’s Legend was a 1:51 winner in the $20,000 Open Pace at Harrington Raceway last night.

The Josh Green-trained gelding led most of the way from post position eight and drew away from his rivals in the stretch for a four-length win over stablemate Carlisimo.

Scuola Hanover, the only mare in the field, was third.

Owned by Rich Lombardo, David Kryway, Eric Good and Green, Jack’s Legend registered his seventh win of the season.

On the undercard, Australian-born mare Soho Burning Love was an easy winner in 1:52.3 in a $14,800 Conditioned Pace.

The seven-year-old set all the fractions in her open length win, the 23rd of her career for trainer Jim King junior and owners Jo Ann Looney-King, Brian Carsey and Jeff Fought Racing.
