The Kelly Hoerdt stable had the gloves off for Boxing Day card at Fraser Downs on Saturday (Dec. 26), winning five races on the 17-race program including a victory in the $10,100 Open Pace with Cusdmagicdragon.
Sent the 2-5 favourite, Cusdmagicdragon grabbed the lead early and opened four lengths on pylon-starter Rockin Mystery to a :28.1 opening quarter. Driver Scott Knight rationed the speed of charge through middle fractions of :58.4 and 1:27.2, where Intrigued Again took his shot and rolled first over from last. However Cusdmagicdragon scooted away with ease off the final turn, strolling to a three-and-three-quarter lengths win over Intrigued Again in a 1:56.3 mile. Redneck Jim took third.
