A winner of over half a million in career earnings, Hasty Bid won his second qualifying appearance of the year with ease at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Friday morning, April 12.
Hasty Bid took the lead early and never looked back as he raced uncontested through panels in :29.4, 1:00 and 1:29.3. The Paige Austin student sprinted home and opened up with every stride, winning by uncharted open lengths in 1:59.1.
