Paul Langille enjoyed a banner day at Truro Raceway thanks to a driving Grand Slam, a training triple and a victory in the featured affair on the eight-race card.

Rusty Riley was the heavy favourite in Friday’s $1,675 ‘Winners Over’ Pace, and he didn’t disappoint for Langille. The nine-year-old son of Blissfull Hall-My Friend Flicka rallied to win by a pair of lengths over Lady N Paradise in 1:57.1. Third prize went to Instant Shadow.

Chantel Gillis of Truro, NS and Dana Getto of New Waterford, NS share ownership on the veteran who won for the third time this season and for the 25th time in his career.

Langille also clicked with stablemates Woodmere Cecil (2:01.2 – Race 2) and Arizona Bucks (1:58.2 – Race 4). He also kicked off the card with a catch-driving score behind the Stephen MacLeod-trained Cool Dew (1:59.2).

Fans were also treated to a track record-equalling performance when Imalookertoo toured the oval in 1:54.4 to tie the track record for three-year-old pacing colts. The performance matched the record set by Autumn Gottem in 2012.

Ryan Ellis got away fourth with Imalookertoo while Ultimatelyhandsome rolled to the top and carved out the opening quarter in :28.1. Ellis revved up the engine on Imalookertoo in the second quarter and the Danny Romo trained exploded to the front and took the field to the half in :57.3. He then stepped past the three-quarter pole in 1:25.2 before using a :29.2 closing quarter to seal the deal by 11 lengths over Ultimatelyhandsome. Jazzmo was third.

Robert Sumarah of Halifax, NS owns the son of Shadow Play-Tymal Xtra who visited victory lane for the first time this season after going 6-for-10 in last year’s rookie campaign.
