On
Saturday June 2 long time breeders and owners, Mr. And Mrs. R.J. Bennett scored
a rare back to back double with two BC home-bred geldings. Thanks to their team
of trainer Barbara Heads and jockey Antonio Reyes both Sunset Drive and Lucky
Ending came home winners. In the fourth race it seems Sunset Drive got the
distance he was looking for in a one and one sixteenth miles Allowance race for
non winners of three (BC-bred), and rider Antonio Reyes timed his come from
behind run just right, winning by a short head over Kentucky-bred Spring in
Alberta. The 5-year-old bay gelding, Sunset Drive is by the Bennett's sire
Sungold out of the mare Perfect Unbridal, by Perfect Soul.

In
the very next race it was deja vu all over again, as the same connections sent
out winner, Lucky Ending
in a Maiden Special Weight for 3-year -olds and up,
going one and one sixteenth miles. Again jockey Antonio Reyes brought his
mount from off the pace to win, but handily this time, by 2 3/4 lengths over
Kentucky-bred Chef. Lucky Ending is a dark bay or brown gelding by another
Bennett stallion, Finality, out of the Alphabet Soup mare Wish Me Luck. It
seems trainer Barb Heads has her charges fit for the longer distances and this
terrific team may have more to show in the future. Look out!
