The classy veteran, who faces mandatory retirement on Jan. 1, 2021, was the victor of the fifth leg of the evening’s Pick-5 where one lucky bettor cashed for a whopping $29,677.  The payoff was astronomical because the other four winners in the sequence carried odds of 4-5, 7-5, 4-5 and 7-2.

Terror Of The Track started from post three and let his competition carve out fractions of :27.1, :56.1 and 1:26.  He then looped from the back and scored by a head in 1:57.1

“I have to admit, this win is pretty emotional for me,” admitted Keith Kash Jr.  “We have had this horse a long time.  I don’t just race horses, I truly love the animals.”

Wednesday’s score increased Terror Of Thetrack’s career bankroll to $198,164.  The son of Western Terror is in-to-go in Northfield’s 15th race on Monday (Dec. 21) from post three.  Monday’s race will be Terror Of Thetrack’s 500th and final career race.
