Pompano Beach, FL — Cam In Black ($5.80) has found his nitche for driver Richard Simard and trainer Jim McDonald as the pacer posted his third straight win in the Open Handicap Pace at Pompano Park, winning Saturday night in a photo finish in 1:52.1. Lap Time Photo – Skip Smith Cam In Black holds off Hearty Fellow to win the Open Pace on Saturday at Pompano. Leaving from post six in the ninth race feature, Simard wasted no time showing who was cutting the mile, sending Cam In Black to the front to stay. 
It was the sixth victory of the year for Cam In Black, a six-year-old gelding by Cambest, who is owned by the SSG Stables of North Boston, New York.
The fastest mile of the night belonged to Mr Matturday Night ($4.20) in the seventh race pace, who stopped the teletimer in a lifetime best clocking of 1:51.4.
A four-year-old stallion by Matt’s Scooter, Mr Matturday Night got away in second place at the start as Wizsell (Wally Hennessey) was first to show. But a quick quarter move by driver Bruce Ranger sent Mr Matturday Night right to the front to stay as he pulled away from the field in the stretch to win by two and three-quarter lengths. Heartthrob (Stephan Lareau) was second with Wizsell third.
It was the fourth win this year for Mr Matturday Night, who is trained by Tom Becket for the Bruce Ranger Stable and is owned by Jean Bryer of Pompano Beach.
