J K Special, under the command of Walter Cheverie, put in one of her biggest performances of the season when she won the Erwin Andrew Memorial Pacing Series Final in 1:57 after being parked every step of the way. The event was staged Saturday night at Red Shores Racetrack & Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
With the inside horses leaving hard off the gate, and J K Special leaving from Post 7, Cheverie had no other option but to keep the filly rated on the outside when he couldn't beat Onehotvett and driver Clare MacDonald to the front.
MacDonald laid down stiff fractions of :27.4, :57.1 and 1:27.1, but J K Special, bred, owned and trained by Joe Smallwood, never gave up and had to dig in deep in the stretch to reach up and win the rich $15,200 final, presented by Meridian Farms and Standardbred Canada.
The daughter of Cambest-J K Beauty earned her second win in a row and her 10th of the year in 24 starts. She won three of her four preliminary Erwin Andrew legs, finishing second in the other. ©2011 Red Shores / CDPEC / Universum Media Inc. / StandardbredCanada.ca
