Androvette sizzles in BC Mare Pace elim



Toronto, ON--Androvette, with Tim Tetrick up, fired early and maintained control of the pace to win the sole Breeders Crown Mare Pace elim on Saturday night (Oct. 22) at Woodbine. The daughter of Riverboat King was the 6-5 choice in the 10-horse field where the first eight finishers go to the final next week.



Rock N Soul took the lead leaving wide from post 9 and cut a sharp 26.1 first panel. Tetrick scooped up the lead quickly to take the top and posted a 55.2 half.



Maureen Rocks took to the outside for Scott Zeron and looked like she could pass Androvette approaching the 1:23.1 three-quarters. But Androvette was all out in the stretch, extending her lead even as Maureen Rocks gained late ground.



Androvette crossed the wire in 1:50.2, with Maureen Rocks second, On The Glass picking up speed to get third and Western Silk in fourth.



Driver Tetrick said he didn’t have a game plan with the Mark Kesmodel-trained 4-year-old.



“She can go forever, never seems to get tired and when I called her tonight she took off,” he said, adding that he is very happy she “shows up every week” to give her best in this class.



Jeffrey Bamond and Joseph Davino own the mare who was bred by Golden Touch Stable.



Voelz Hanover and Dreamfair Eternal finished ninth and 10th, respectively, and do not make the final field.
