Borth Hits Five At Dresden Raceway

Tyler Borth and Andy Moore were tied for the dash lead going into racing action today at Dresden Raceway. Not anymore. Tyler Borth proved that the 33 degree temperatures weren’t the hottest thing at Ontario’s Little Saratoga as he was at the controls for five winners on the afternoon at Dresden Raceway.

The Ingersoll tailsitter scored his first win with MAGNUM SEELSTER in the third race for owner/trainer Doug Currie of Brigden. The 11-year- old Intrepid Seelster gelding battled HOWDY PARTNER and Brad Forward down the lane for a win in 1:59.2.

BOONDOCK was the next win for Borth in the fourth race in 2:02.1. Borth is the condition and co-owner of the four-year- old Majestic Son gelding with Martin Hossack.

The 24-year- old driver rolled with DEX THE LAND in the fifth race to make it three wins in a row for owners Jim Napper and Peter Verstraete of Bothwell and trainer Cathy Gaudreau. The three-year- old Badlands Hanover filly went wire to wire in 2:01.2.

WINDSONG KANGO was Borth’s fourth trip to the winner’s circle in the seventh race as he came from off the pace with the five-year- old Windsong Cruiser filly in 2:01 flat. WINDSONG KANGO is owned and trained by Diana McIntosh of Strathroy.

Borth wrapped up the Father’s Day card of racing by winning his fifth with the nine-year- old Thatll Be Me mare, KELLY RAE in 1:59.2. KELLY RAE is owned by John and Sandra Lester of Lambton Shores and trained by co-owner John C.Lester.

Borth now leads the driver’s standings with 11 wins while Moore is second with seven while Alex Lilley and Brad Forward are tied for third with four wins each. Donnie Rankin Jr. won two races on the day for a driving double.

The on track live handle at Dresden Raceway was $17,955.
