Elimination winner Dropofthehammer did not disappoint his backers in the $15,000 Hot To Trot Trotting Series finale on Saturday at Kawartha Downs.

With Brad Rae back in the bike for trainer Nelson White, the post time favourite rallied from off the pace to take a new mark of 1:57.3.

King Trut (Gord Brown) left from the inside post and carved out early panels of :28.3 and :57.4 while Dropofthehammer sat in sixth. After the half, Carsons Jazzman (Murray Samons) moved out from fifth providing Dropofthehammer with cover en route to three-quarters in 1:27.3. Down the stretch, Dropofthehammer pounced on the pacesetter and used a :29.4 final frame to win by two and a half lengths.

King Trut held for second and Carsons Jazzman finished third.

Owned by David White and Jared Overland of Rockwood, Ont., the four-year-old son of Yankee Glide notched his third win of the season and fifth of his career boosting his bankroll to over $30,000.
