Strongbow and driver Jimmy Taggart, Jr. crossed the finish line in a time of 1:59.1 on Monday in a $3,600 conditioned trot. Taggart shadowed the speedy leader, Playa Tulum (Zeke Parker), through fractions of :29, :59 and 1:28.2 before moving to the outside halfway down the lane and then charging past the pacesetter to score a two length triumph. Playa Tulum held on for second and Patsy B Happy and Dave Yarock finished third, some eight lengths behind the winner. It was the first victory of the season for the 8-year-old Striking Sahbra gelding who is owned by Mary Fajardo, Helen Licitra and Manuel Fajardo. Trained by Terry Beck, Strongbow paid $18.00 for win.
