Mr Thompson overcame interference at the half and fanned four-wide before blasting home to win the colt final in 1:59.3 for driver Mike Stevenson and trainer Wayne Bell. The Articulator-Yankee Checkers colt nosed out Dukes Up (Walter Cheverie) for the 17-1 upset. The popular pacesetter Junebugs Baby (Greg Sparling), an elimination winner, finished one and a quarter lengths behind.
Mr Thompson now sports a record reading 3-1-2 in eight starts with $26,324 earned for owners Boyd Macdonald Prodce Ltd. of Crapaud and Daniel Ross of Belfast, P.E.I. He paid $36.20 to win. ©2011 Maritime Classics / StandardbredCanada.ca
