Woodbine Harness: Domedomedome cruises to Lifetime Dream Series sweep

Domedomedome completed her domination of the Lifetime Dream Series with a 1:55 4/5 victory Monday night at Woodbine Racetrack.

A field of 10 four and five-year-old trotting mares lined up for the $44,200 Lifetime Dream Series final, but all eyes were on five-year-old Domedomedome.

The Jack Moiseyev trainee entered the final off victories of 4 1/4 and 3 1/4 lengths in the preliminary rounds and the public sent her off as the 2/5 favorite.

Driven by Moiseyev, Domedomedome was able to get away second behind Giona, who once again flashed her gate speed to grab command and post an opening-quarter of 27 3/5.

Moiseyev wasted little time circling to the front in the second-quarter and his trotting mare marched by the half in 58 3/5. Lady Ping, who was also aiming for a series sweep, trotted along fifth in the early stages and picked up cover to sit second-over around the final turn.

Domedomedome trotted by the three-quarter pole in 1:27 2/5 and created a bit of separation on her rivals at the top of the lane. Lady Ping did not fire off cover, but Aspen California, who was third-over, showed good trot in an attempt to catch the favortie in the stretch.

However, Moiseyev had Domedomedome on cruise control and the daughter of Deweycheatumnhowe trotted home comfortably in 28 2/5 to win by a length and a half over Aspen California. I Jasmin, who came first up, finished third, while Lady Ping was fourth.

Domedomedome is owned by Joanne Colville and Pamela Schmidt. The five-year-old trotting mare now has three wins from four starts this season and ten overall in her career.

The Moiseyev trainee pushed her career earnings to $142,650 with the Lifetime Dream Series final victory. She paid $2.90 to win.

In order to be eligible to the Lifetime Dream, the trotting mares had to be non-winners of $100,000 lifetime as of October 31, 2015.
