Break Even Wins Fans Cup

FORT ERIE, August 09...Wicked early fractions set up a perfect trip for Break Even in the Fans Cup Sunday afternoon at Fort Erie.

Break Even wins 2009 Fans Cup

With Michael McMullen in the saddle, Break Even relaxed off the pace set by Fezacon and made a solid late run to win the one mile and one sixteenth test by 1 ½ lengths. The final time over a sloppy main track was 1:44 1/5.

“He never runs a bad race,” said McMullen. “There was good pace today and I was able to sit back and relax. He really fired when he had to.”

Owned by Sam Passero and trained by Bob Gilyana, Break Even paid $11.90, $3.80 and $2.60. Great Addiction, who was looking for his third win of the year, also came from off the pace and finished second returning $2.40 and $2.20. Smiling Jordan paid $4.40 to show. The exactor returned $28.70 and the triactor paid $173.30.

Next Sunday Ontario Sired fillies and mares will compete in the $125,000 Rainbow Connection Stakes, a five furlong sprint on the Fort Erie turf course.
