Windsor, Maine …. Memories come to overflow when champions again view the scenes of earlier glory. Both fans and participants are often overwhelmed and memories of earlier triumphs, lovingly tucked away in the recesses of the legend, clearly return to Focus.
And sometimes, on special occasions, those memories, such as recovered, leave the greatness to visit again.
That was the case with Western Stepp and Drew Campbell on Friday (August 29) on the Windsor Fair.
The now 12-year-old Maine-Foked daughter of Western Maverick And former Maine Sire Stakes champion, French Stepp, returned to the scene of one of her biggest triumphs, sliding gate to thread to guarantee the 63rd victory of her career, in Harness to her regular driver, Dreew Campbell.
The victory was mostly emotional for Campbell when he remembered a day, nine years ago, when he and Western Stepp cherished for the first time in the winnership of Windsor Fair.
“She was a great Maine-bred” Campbell noticed, “as a two-and-three year old, she won the final. And nine years ago she still broke a fixed state record for three-year-olds. 1: 54.3, it was a race in Stakes, it was a big mile for a three-year-old then.
“Some of the big races-the state record, her two-and-three-year-old Stakes Championships at Scarborough Downs you never forget. She has been experienced everything, she has been more than more songs … She’s a professional”.
Respect is something that needs to be earned, and the respect that Campbell has for Western Stepp has been forged by a partnership that has endured the test of time. And although their place in posterity is already insured, one can only wonder what magic this partnership still has in the store.
