With Willie Murhpy in the driver’s seat, the favoured son of Nikes Image-Animated Lady left from the five post and carved out panels of :30, 1:00.2 and 1:31.4 before kicking home in :29.3 to win in 2:01.3 by three and a quarter lengths. Inscribed (Harold Shepherd) followed the leader to finish second and Cavalry Officer (Marc Campbell) was third.

Cynthia MacDonald trains the four-year-old gelding and shares ownership with Tanya MacKinnon of Souris, P.E.I. The win was Saulsbrook Balance’s fifth in 23 starts this year and 21st of his career. The lion’s share of the purse pushed his bankroll to $60,784.
