Keystone Wyatt Back In Rideau Spotlight

Published: September 13, 2015 11:31 pm EDT

Returning to his regular stomping grounds, Keystone Wyatt delivered as the even-money favourite in Sunday's co-featured $6,500 Winners Over Handicap Trot at Rideau Carleton Raceway.

Ted McDonald sent Keystone Wyatt ($2) wire-to-wire, leading through fractions of :27, :57 and 1:26 en route to the 1:55.4 score. Rocky Boy followed three and a half lengths behind from the pocket trip while Tymal Colossus finished 10 lengths back in third.

Keystone Wyatt is now a winner of four of his last five races, with all of those wins occurring at Rideau Carleton Raceway. His only loss in the past month was a fourth-place finish competing in Kawartha Downs' Goodtime Trot Invitational last weekend.

Chelsea Knapp trains the six-year-old son of Cantab Hall for owners 2099551 Ontario Inc., John Macmillan and Kathy Moulton.

Web Cam ($6.20) also led from start to finish in the evening's matching Winners Over Handicap Pace, earning his third win from his last four races for driver Stephane Lareau, trainer Richard Lareau and co-owner Helene Allard.

Sent postward as the 2-1 second choice, the eight-year-old Astreos gelding kept 8-5 favourite Slight Touch at bay as he led through panels of :27.2, :57.3 and 1:25.3, and prevailed in 1:54.4. Sovereign Wealth rallied off cover to finish second, theee-quarters of a length behind the winner. Slight Touch held on for third over Scotty Mach N and Solid Performance.
