Track record holder Big Red Machine stole the limelight during weekend harness racing at Vesey Street.Colin Mello’s stud recorded the fastest time (1:04/1) of the season so far and also swept both heats in the Free for All during Saturday night’s event.In what has now become customary, Driving Horse and Pony Club (DHPC) executive Mello refused to take all the credit for his latest success in the sport.“Big Red does it himself, I just sit there for the ride,” he told The Royal Gazette. “He just loves doing what he does.”Remarkably, Big Red Machine won both heats in the Free for All despite having to start in the middle of the field.“We definitely had some work to do, starting from the middle in both heats,” Mello said. “We had some good races and a good crowd and overall it was a good night.”Big Red Machine obliterated his own track record en route to setting a new mark of 1:0¼ during the previous harness campaign.This year will mark the eight-year-old stud’s final season of racing, Mello revealed.“This is his last year of racing because he will be retiring at the end of the year,” he said. “I don’t want to hurt him and he really doesn’t have nothing to prove.”Mello added: “He’s a horse of a lifetime.”One of the goals Mello hopes to achieve this year is to win the coveted Champion of Champions outright with Big Red Machine.“I won the Champion of Champions last year by default because it got rained out so my goal this year is to win it outright,” he said. “But whether or not we do this it will still be his last year of racing.”Mello was one of six drivers achieving multiple heat wins during the last round of harness racing.Tyler Lopes (Shadow Play) had two wins in the 1:15/1 and Slower time bar, Philip Correia (Imagine That) swept both heats in the 1:08/3 1:10/3 time bar while Charles Whited Jr had two wins in the 1:04/4 and Faster and 1:10/4 — 1:12/4 time bars with Abbey’s Dream and Just Like That.Jason Peniston had two wins in the 1:05 — 1:06 and 1:07/2-1:08/2 time bars with Nite Dreamer and Crown’s Jewel while Joe Vieira’s Cherokee Kibbitz swept both heats in the 1:07/2-1:08/2 time barPrior to last weekend’s racing Correia held the fastest time of 1:04/2, which he achieved with his colt Cherokee’s Superman, during the opening round of the 2012-13 season.
