Cumberland, ME — George Fenno’s Instant Replay has been a consistent top pacer in Maine this season. Having won two of his last three starts, the 4-year-old son of Lazarus will try to redeem his first and only loss of the season this Saturday (June 8) at Cumberland in the $6,000 featured sixth race.

Aside from his third-place finish last week, Instant Replay has rewarded his backers with $13.80 and $3.40 win mutuels in his previous two outings. Nonetheless, he is still the second choice on the TrackMaster morning line, pegged at 7-2, with Walter Case Jr. resuming his role from the horse’s first win.

The 5-2 favorite is a horse moving up in class, Runrunjimmydunn N. Trained by Ryan Hall and driven by leading driver Kevin Switzer Jr., he comes off a win in his last start, pacing in a seasonal best 1:55.4. The third and fourth choices are Bet On Joe (Bruce Ranger) and Lexus Witha View A (Nick Graffam). Every one of the seven entrants has a seasonal mark of 1:57.1 or faster, with Instant Replay being the most lightly raced.

In addition, the track hosts another two $5,000 divisions of the Maine Amateur Driving Club (MADC) series, sponsored by the Blue Seal Feed Stores of North Yarmouth and Windham, Maine.

While the 10-race card of live harness racing begins at 3:15 p.m., First Tracks Cumberland will also offer simulcasting from Saratoga Race Course on Saturday (June 8) for the $2 million Belmont Stakes. Doors open at 10:45 a.m.

The weekend’s action starts with Friday’s (June 7) 10-race card, with the track offering punters a $5,000 Pick-5 guarantee in races 3-7. The wager has a 16-percent takeout on the 50-cent minimum bet. Free past performances for the sequence can be found on the USTA’s Strategic Wagering page.
