Obrigado in Maxie Lee Memorial Invitational Trot
Obrigado and driver Mark MacDonald equalled the 1:52 track record for aged gelding trotters in an eventful edition of the Maxie Lee Memorial Invitational Trot.

With last year's Maxie Lee runner-up Bee A Magician scratched, the only other mare left in the field was Shake It Cerry (David Miller), but she broke stride trying to leave the gate. JL Cruze (Corey Callahan), the 8-5 favourite, assumed command from post four over Gural Hanover (Matt Kakaley), who also made a miscue early in the first turn. Il Sogno Dream (Scott Zeron) thus inherited the pocket spot and Obrigado followed in third.

JL Cruze led the field through fractions of :27.2, :56 and 1:23.1 before he also self-destructed at the top of the homestretch, leaving Il Sogno Dream to battle for top honours with Obrigado, who had launched a first over attack nearing the third quarter mark. After a stretch-long duel, Obrigado ultimately persevered by a neck over Il Sogno Dream in 1:52 flat. Maestro Blue Chip (Tim Tetrick) finished over five lengths behind in third.

“I thought his effort was great,” said trainer and co-owner Paul Kelley. “I don’t think he ever got ahold of the racetrack, to my liking anyway, but he’s a game horse and he just gives 110 percent every time you put him on the track. All the horses that race at this level are just tremendous athletes, and he overcame it."

Obrigado, who is now two-for-four on the season, notched his 36th career win and is just shy of the $900,000 earnings mark. The six-year-old Boy Band-Malimony gelding is co-owned by Kelley, Srf Stable, Linwood Higgins and Stable 45.

“His year has been really good. We dealt with some issues last year with his front feet stinging him and I think we have a better handle on what he likes and what he doesn’t like. Hopefully, he’s going to have a really good year," said Kelley, adding with a laugh, “I need a retirement plan and I don’t have one right now; not a good enough one. So this could be it.”

Obrigado paid $8 to win as the 3-1 second choice.
