Tardif’s Pickmepickme scores fifth straight

Pickmepickme is a 2-year-old harness racing pacing filly. She won her fifth consecutive Maine Breeders Stakes (MSBS) on Sunday (Sept. 4) at Windsor Fair. The Tardif Taskforce sent three fillies into two $17,800-plus MSBS divisions for 2 year old pacing fills. All of the fillys got checks. Lauren, the granddaughter of some of Tards' friends, used to visit the Torsors and their horses. She had some medical issues and couldn't visit them. Now she visits them regularly.
