After guiding Outlaw Blue Isle to her first Fillies & Mares Preferred win on Friday, Dave Kelly engineered the winning trip with stablemate Bonus Round in the Preferred Pace on Saturday, April 20 at Century Downs to give that pacer his first top class tally.
The stage is set. Favourite Over The Horizon and longshot King Kong slayer Blue Star Mercury both won this past Saturday’s Western Canada Pacing Derby eliminations to advance to this Saturday’s prestigious and rich $110,710 Derby final at Century Mile.
Returning to action after a four-week layoff, Western Canada's fastest pacer Shark Week picked up right where he left off in Friday night's featured $14,000 Preferred Handicap Pace at Century Downs, extending his win streak to seven in a row.
