Milton, ON – Scott McEneny pupil Boxer Seelster had a successful tune-up ahead of the Metro Pace eliminations when delivering as the 6-5 choice in his C$82,643 division of the Champlain Stakes on Saturday night (Sept. 7) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
After getting nailed from a front-stepping effort last Saturday in a Gold division, driver Trevor Henry gave Boxer Seelster a methodical steer into contention. Henry secured a second-over tow after a :56.1 half that became a third-over seat as 6-5 second choice Century Lucifer popped pocket to challenge pacesetter Mad River.
With a five-length deficit off three-quarters in 1:25, Henry fed Boxer Seelster racetrack and swallowed his foes into the last eighth to grab a three-quarter-length win in 1:52.2. Twin B Courageous, at 65-1, rallied for second while Century Lucifer settled for third.
