First career win for trainer, mare
Shay Seelster (Sunshine Beach) and trainer Mary Ratchford teamed up to collect their first career harness racing wins at Flamboro Downs on Saturday (Jan. 27).
After persisting first-up from before the half, the determined mare muscled clear of pacesetter Wickedly Devilish (Nick Steward) in the stretch for her first victory in 29 lifetime starts in 2:03.
Shay Seelster was driven by Todd Ratchford, Mary’s brother, who owns and previously trained the four-year-old mare. Mary Ratchford received her trainer’s license in January. The 19-year-old had made two starts before the win. Shay Seelster has now earned $12,014.
