Trainer Logan Hollis would love to see talented pacer Hawkeye Pierce race for $900,000 in stakes in just six weeks this summer but he might need your help. “Your help” meaning if you intend buying a slot in the new Three-Year-Old Pacing slot race to be held on Show Day, which is where Hollis would like to see Hawkeye Pierce end up. The exciting pacer resumes in a talented-packed race at Alexandra Park tonight, the Purdon and Phelan Racing Metro Heat No 2, which was designed to bring the very best under R55 pacers in the north together.
It looks like it is working as tonight’s heat is a beauty with plenty of open-class-type ability in the field, which gives these horses a chance to qualify for a $35,000 final on September 6, the first of the new finals as harness racing starts to flex the muscle of its new $10 million stake increases. Hollis says Hawkeye Pierce is ready to roll as he has been in work since winning here on June 27, beating subsequently impressive dual winner Always A Porsche..
