2009 09 19 R13 Balmoral $185,000 Pete Langley Memorial

They say its better to be lucky than good and that was exactly the case in the $185,000 Pete Langley Memorial as Shirley LeVins Park Lane Deputy found racing room in the late going after Daretodogreathings made a costly break and the son of Sportsmaster-Darling Katherine rallied up the inside to win by a half-length in 1:51.3.

After leaving alertly from post position seven Park Lane Deputy wound up getting pushed back through the middle portion of the race as speedball My Boy Luke led the field through splits of :27.2, :55.2 and 1:23.

Appearing to be hopelessly locked in at the mid-stretch call driver Dale Hiteman seized the opportunity as Daretodogreathings made a break and left the course. That allowed Hiteman to use the passing lane to his full advantage and the Homer Hochstetler trainee rallied up the inside to notch his 13th victory of the season. Doubletrouble turned in a solid effort to finish second while Smellthecolornine was third. ©2009 StandardbredCanada.ca / Roberts Communications Network LLC / Balmoral Park
