Off the 6-5 favourite, Shark Week delivered a coast-to-coast performance in taking the $45,100 Alberta Marksman Final on Sunday (June 27) at Century Downs.
Driver Michael Hennessy cleared command with Shark Week while Dragon Energy landed in the pocket from the second tier to a :27.2 first quarter. They remained one-two through a :57.1 half and 1:25.1 three-quarters before Shark Week scooted three lengths clear off the final turn. Dragon Energy gave futile chase to the 3-year-old Vertical Horizon colt through the stretch, settling for second in the 1:53.1 mile by 2 1/2 lengths. Codename Cigar Box finished third another two lengths back.
Co-owned by trainer Rod Hennessy with Lorne Duffield, Shark Week won his fifth race from eight starts, earning $62,680. He paid $4.30 to win.
