Camwood was very good – Dan Gill Wins 3

June 1, 2022

The Memorial Day weekend compressed this weeks racing schedule to 3 days of racing, with the 1 less day of racing the box was overflowing. This afternoon’s card and tomorrow are 10 races cards and a 13 race card on Thursday.

As the temperatures begin to get hotter, so does Camwood. This year it took a while for the 8-year-old gelded son of Woodstock to get back on track and start hitting on all 8 cylinders. This afternoon he looked like the Camwood of old scoring a powerful wire to wire 4-length win in 1:53, the fastest mile of the year with Brandon Parker at the helm, finishing second was Trevor One followed by Prophet Blue Chip. Parker had a driving double, taking the closer with Magical Lily Bear in 1:56.2.

Kyle Dibenedetto was first away from the gate with Caviart Cherie, Beauty Is Blind also left quickly and took the 2 hole and followed Caviart Cherie around the oval through fractions of 28.1, 57.2. 1:26.1. Poppy Drayton N mounted an attempt at the leaders at the 5/8 marker but the effort stalled and she settled for third in 1:54.4, Beauty Is Blind was second. Caviart Cherie is trained by Nick Devita

Trainer Dan Gill scored 3 wins on the card, first he had back to back wins with Miss Quality 1:56.3 – $8.90 – Mcgwire Sowers and Lovin Miss Daisy N 1:58.1 – $6.90 – Bruce Aldrich Jr. and then came back with Fair Glider in 1:59.3 with Bruce Aldrich Jr. at the helm. The triple give Gill 27 wins for the season, ranking him in the fifth slot.
