Bangor, ME — Everything old was brand new again on Wednesday (May 15) at Bangor Raceway as Instant Replay (1:58.2-$3.40) won handily in his first start of the season while Walter Case Jr. overpowered the young guns while engineering a driving triple on the late afternoon program.

Instant Replay, a fairly lightly raced 4-year-old son of Lazarus N, scored his seventh career win while making his first start of the season for owner/trainer George Fenno III.

The fans, giddy about the impressive recent prep effort and with memories of his notable sophomore campaign fully entrenched, quickly jumped on the bandwagon, sending Instant Replay to the gate as the 3-5 favorite. Case, confident in his charge’s ability, wasted little time reciprocating, sending the chalk smartly off the gate, rushing him to the top through an insistent quarter-pole move, then gliding through an insurmountable :57.4 back-half while marching toward a breezy 1-3/4 length margin at the wire.

Case’s other wins came courtesy of a pair of well-meant Allison MacDonald trainees.

Chilled Prosecco (1:59.4-$3.20) overcame near disastrous interference at the eighth pole before charging on to the lead just past the quarter pole, and then making every other pole a winning one, to record his third career victory.

And then stablemate Tim Mcmiki (1:56.1-$2.40), trucking in from his recent Yonkers swing, wore down the locals through a determined first-over grind, gaining complete control as they reached three-quarters, before being hand driven to the wire by Case, as the cashiers opened fresh rolls of dimes.

In other Bangor news, drivers Dan Deslandes and Heath Campbell teamed two winners each on the Wednesday matinee while trainer Jeffrey Deslandes matched Allison MacDonald by sending two winners to the post, enabling both members of the Deslandes clan to maintain their grasps on the top spots of their respective leaderboards.
