INNISFIL, ON — When Deweykeepumnwhy failed to qualify for the Mid-Summer Challenge, trainer Ronald Parsons dropped the two-year-old trotting colt down to the Grassroots level for two starts.
The move proved to be a wise one as Deweykeepumnwhy picked up two straight victories, touring Georgian Downs in 1:57.4 on July 30 and Mohawk Racetrack in 1:57.2 on Aug. 8, and the trotter jumps back up to the Gold Series level when the division makes a second stop at Georgian Downs on Saturday, Aug. 17.
Deweykeepumnwhy will start from Post 4 in the fourth $42,000 Gold Series division, taking on three colts currently ranked in the top 10. Second ranked Utopia gets Post 6, Special Agent Man, currently seventh, will benefit from Post 1, and eighth-ranked Aggressive will start from Post 7.
Cambridge resident Parsons conditions Deweykeepumnwhy for owner Norah Parks of New Lowell. Through five lifetime starts the Deweycheatumnhowe son has tallied two wins, one third and $15,628.
Mid-Summer Challenge champion Muscle Matters will be looking for his second straight victory from Post 6 in the third division for trainer Benoit Baillargeon of Rockwood and his partners Nunzio Vena of Bolton, Santo Vena of Brampton and Richard Thompson of London. Through three starts the Muscle Mass gelding boasts a record of two wins and $98,800.
Dontcheatonmenow captured the Mid-Summer Consolation at Mohawk on Aug. 5 and will be looking for his second victory from Post 6 in the second Gold Series division. The Deweycheatumnhowe colt is trained by Tom Durand of Puslinch for his partner Allan Smith of Oakville.
The two-year-old trotting colts will compete in Races 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 on Georgian Downs’ Saturday evening program, which gets under way at 7:25 pm.
