2007 North America Cup Day Results

North America Cup night also featured a rich undercard of stakes events with potential championship implications. Among these, Mohawk hosted four finals of the Classic Series, which all involve top older horses competing at the extended distance of 1 3/8 miles around 3 turns. In the $265,350 Pacing Classic, 6-1 Boulder Creek not only upset 2-5 favorite Lis Mara by 1 1/2 lengths, he set a new world record time for the distance of 2:33.2 and became the first three-time winner of the event.

Driver Daniel Dube said, "I got a perfect trip in here and this horse has so much class. When you have a nice horse, they do the work for you. I wanted to race him from behind but nobody else was on the gate so we just left out of there pretty easily. Then, when Lis Mara pulled, I just sat on his back the whole way around and it was easy from there."
