A look at some of the top highlights from the past weekend of racing at Mohawk. Over the moon Lunar Sport held on tight to pick up his first win of the season in the fifth fixture on Mohawk’s 12-race Saturday program. Holding a narrow advantage into the push for home, the 3-year-old son of Sportswriter–Full Moon Fix never relented to steady pressure, reaching the wire a neck ahead of 9-5 favourite I Love This Bar. It was a record-setting performance for Lunar Sport, who stopped the clock in a career-best 1:52.4. Now with $26,480 banked for trainer Blake MacIntosh, who co-owns the bay pacer with Hutt Racing Stable, Lunar Sport (7-1) paid $16.50. Lunar Sport.
