Open Pace at Cal Expo Saturday
At 2h07, on March 11, 2023 • By CAL EXPO
Officer Jim, who has rattled off three straight wins including a sparkling score at the head of the class last week, looks to keep the momentum going in Saturday night’s (March 11) $8,000 Open Pace at Cal Expo.
There will be 11 races decided under the Watch and Wager LLC banner with first post set for 6:15 p.m.
Officer Jim is a 7-year-old son of American Ideal who is owned by Debra McCarthy, takes his lessons from Michael Meza and will have his fourth different pilot in a row with James Kennedy handling the lines.
Stepping up to last week’s Open with Sean Smithpeters guiding, Officer Jim was able to leave into a pocket trip behind Unfiltered, tracked that one to the drive and then ignited when it counted to win going away by 1-3/4 lengths in a sizzling 1:51.4 tour.
In addition to Unfiltered, who will be looking for some revenge this week, the cast includes Chase The Gold, Firenado, Northbrook Ron, Dancin Lance and Keystone Tenacious.
The main event is slotted as the sixth contest on the evening.
