Photo Finish Drama as Harness Racing Returns to Bermuda

IslandStats.com
The Harness Racing season resumed at the National Equestrian Center on Vesey Street, but a rainy night couldn't cool down the heated competition on the track. Two thrilling photo finishes had everyone on the edge of their seats as the judges were called upon to determine the winners.

In Heat 4 of the 1:04&0 & Faster Time Bar Class, Maurice Raynor aboard Rockeyed Optimist and Candyce Martins driving Smart Machine battled neck-and-neck down the stretch. Both horses crossed the line with an official time of 1:03&4, leaving the crowd in suspense as the judges reviewed the photo finish. After careful deliberation, Raynor and Rockeyed Optimist were declared the winners by a nose.

The drama continued in Heat 6 of the 1:04&1 – 1:06&1 Time Bar Class. Dylan DeSilva guided Itsallaboutme to what appeared to be a victory, clocking a time of 1:06&2. However, DJ Burchall with Kool the Fire had other ideas, matching DeSilva's time in a furious sprint to the finish. Once again, the judges were called upon to examine the photo finish, ultimately awarding the win to DeSilva and Itsallaboutme. Candyce Martins, driving Rockin My Business, finished a close third with a time of 1:06&4.
