Google Me Twice extended her unbeaten start to the season and advanced to a faster time bar during harness racing at the National Equestrian Centre last Friday night.

The two-year-old filly swept both heats in the 1:12/3 and slower division to stretch her flawless streak to 8-0 with driver Darico Clarke in the bike.

Owner Naje Degraff is happy with the progress his Indiana-bred pony has made in her debut season on the local harness racing scene.

“Google Me Twice is progressing really well,” he told The Royal Gazette.

“She is still learning where to put her feet, so we are continuing to make adjustments as she develops. We are getting close to finding that comfortable balance where she can really settle in and show us what she is capable of.

“At just two- years old, there will always be adjustments along the way. She is still growing, learning and developing, and it is important to give her the time she needs. She is also keeping her winning streak alive with an incredible 8 starts and 8 wins.”

Degraff’s pony will now compete in the faster 1:09/1- 1:12/2 time bar next time out at the Devonshire racetrack.

“She has now moved up a time bar, so my plan is to keep her there for a little while. Once she has that down comfortably and shows me she is ready for the next step, we will let her move up again,” he said.

“A big part of her progress has also been her driver, Darico Clarke, who has been in the race bike with her from her very first race. He has done a great job understanding her and helping teach her along the way.

“We are not in a rush. The goal is to get her comfortable, keep her progressing and let her ability speak for itself.”

Expectations are high for Degraff’s filly as the daughter of existing overall track record holder and mare, Google Me, and former overall track record holder and stud Big Red Machine.

Google Me Twice was among four ponies recording sweeps which also included Belhaven Stables’ trio Smart Machine (Candyce Martins), Gold-N-Glory (DJ Burchall) and Reel Desire (Kaleb Camara).

Martins, the Driving Horse and Pony Club president, and gelding Smart Machine posted the fastest time of 1:04/1 in the Free for All division.
