Southwind Tempo was a 1:50.4 winner in her 4-year-old debut.

With John Campbell in the sulky, Southwind Tempo rocketed past Ulrica Bromac N in the stretch and drew off to a 2-3/4 length win over a rain-soaked track. She paid $5.20, $2.80 and $2.20.

Kevin Lare added Southwind Tempo to his roster of trainees after Jerry Silva purchased the 2007 3-Year-Old Filly Pacer of the Year in a million-dollar deal last week.

Southwind Tempo was a bargain $3,500 purchase developed by Lare’s stepbrother, Toby Lynch, Jr. She won 16 of 21 starts and $863,604 while racing for Steve Elliott last season.

Adam Victor & Son Stable LLC’s My Little Dragon was the winner in the second $50,000 division of the Overbid, crossing the finish line in 1:52.1.

Ron Pierce drove the winner to a nose triumph over Street Dancer (Andy Miller) with Ideal Weather (Yannick Gingras) just a neck off the pace.
