Never in the history of harness racing in Western Canada had a Standardbred raced a mile in under 1:50. Shark Week became the first to break the barrier when taking the $14,000 Preferred Pace on a stakes-filled card Saturday afternoon (June 3) at Century Downs.
While Century Downs hosted a total of seven eliminations for the Alberta Sire Stakes (ABSS) Diamond for sophomore fillies and Marksman for males, pacing gelding Shark Week stole the eyes on Saturday afternoon (May 27) with an evisceration of the Century Downs track record in a $14,000 Preferred Pace.
