Woodbine Mohawk Park: True Blue Lindy takes Dream Maker final

True Blue Lindy became the latest horse to get the Dream Maker bump following a strong 1:51 2/5 victory in Monday's series final at Woodbine Mohawk Park. A launching pad for many previous stars, the Dream Maker Series for 2-year-old colt and gelding pacers saw a compact field of six clash in this year's $86,500 final.

Trained by Carl Jamieson, True Blue Lindy and driver Jody Jamieson took full advantage of a two-hole ride to win in a career-best clocking, holding off Tony Alagna trainees Nautical Hanover and Atlas Hanover.

"He's done everything he's been asked of, first and second every start now and a nice speed badge there to boot," said Jody Jamieson post-race. "He was great tonight; he just did what he had to do like he always does. He's lazy as hell, but he keeps doing it."

Race favorite Many Moons was used hard early to make the front, clearing True Blue Lindy at the opening quarter in 26 4/5. The 1/5 favorite rolled the field to the half in 55 2/5 and down to three-quarters in 1:24 1/5.

Jamieson edged True Blue Lindy from the two-hole at the head of the lane and the 5-2 second-choice responded with a 27 second final kicker to secure the victory. Nautical Hanover finished strongly in 26 2/5 to come up three-quarters of a length short. Many Moons faded down the lane to finish fifth.
