Drawn Impression Makes Strong Impression In Peaceful Way
At 2h40, on August 27, 2023 • By TROT INSIDER
Drawn Impression flaunted her fleet-of-foot flair in the 2023 $425,000 Peaceful Way final on Saturday, Aug. 26 at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
The trot for rookie fillies saw a multi-horse tussle for top spot at the outset with Draw The Line (Tyler Jones) striking front before being overtaken by Graceful Design (Andy McCarthy) just past the opening panel reached in :27.3. The see-saw affair saw Draw The Line pop back out and seize control just after a half in :56.2, while Louis-Philippe Roy kept a patient hand with 1-2 choice Drawn Impression, content to watch the proceedings from in sixth.
As the field entered the turn for home, Cool Ma Belle (Bob McClure) came calling to the outside, while Drawn Impression, now fifth, was rolling and full of trot. Draw the Line, less than a length clear after three-quarters in 1:26, then yielded the lead as a host of others set their sights on top prize, but it was Drawn Impression, in full flight mid-way down the stretch, who blasted by her foes with ease.
The daughter of Muscle Hill-Emoticon Hanover, who arrived at the Peaceful Way with two straight scores to start her career, went on to score the victory by 4-3/4 lengths in a time of 1:54.2. Willys Home Run (James MacDonald) was second, just ahead of Graceful Design and Cool Ma Belle, who finished third and fourth, respectively.
