Cumberland, ME — The 12-race card at Cumberland on Friday (June 14) carried three features worth $4,800 each, with each race resulting in a new seasonal mark for each of the three victors.

In the first of two $4,800 trots, favorite Power Mitt ($2.60) had everything his own way and cruised somewhat effortlessly to 6-3/4-length wire-to-wire romp with Kevin Switzer Jr. along for the ride in 1:58.1. Mister Muscle (Nick Graffam) finished second; Thruway (Walter Case Jr.) was third.

It was a new seasonal mark for the 5-year-old son of Explosive Matter, who scored his third win of the year for trainer Bob Marston and owner Dana Goding.

The middle half of the $4,800 tri-feature saw Katelyn’s Angel dominate a group of seasoned pacing mares to score in a seasonal best-equaling 1:56.2. Driven by Bruce Ranger for trainer Benson Merrill and owner-breeder Leighton Property, the 4-year-old Maine-bred daughter of Western Maverick controlled the tempo and paid $5.60 to win by a scant 1-1/4 lengths. Martaritaontherocks (Drew Campbell) finished second; Rojas Blue Chip (Mike Stevenson) was third.

In the third event, trotting favorite C You Again DK (Bruce Ranger) sat in the two-hole until he could see daylight past the three-quarter pole, where he sprung out to take command around the final turn and score by a length in 1:59.4 over To My Credit (Case) and Prescott (Andy Harrington). Trained by Benson Merrill for owner Issac Barajas, the Danish-bred 10-year-old son of The Liquidator paid $3.80 to win.

Driver Kevin Switzer Jr. enjoyed three wins on the program, with Dan Deslandes and Bruce Ranger each picking up a pair. Trainers Bob Marston and Benson Merrill both grabbed two wins on the card.

The Maine Sire Stakes returns on Saturday (June 15) when Cumberland Raceway will host two $16,000-plus divisions for 3-year-old filly pacers, plus a $6,000 top pace, and two $5,000 divisions of the Maine Amateur Driving Club on the 11-race card.
