Mystical Ryan and driver Mario Baillargeon dominated the featured field of Preferred trotters on Sunday night at Flamboro Downs.

The fan favourite used the inside post position to his full advantage in the $18,900 event. The Benoit Baillargeon pupil posted panels of :28, :58.4 and 1:28.2 before reaching the wire in 1:58.3.

Brawn Seelster (Garrett Whelan) closed well to finish second after angling three-wide at the third quarter mark while the pocket-sitter, Locofoco N (Mitchell Sahely), finished third.

Mystical Ryan, a six-year-old Striking Sahbra gelding, scored his 16th win and lifted his bankroll past the $300,000 mark for owner Frank Cirillo of Kleinburg, Ont.
