Circling to the front early, Scene A Magician maintained command despite all challenges to win the $10,000 Preferred 3 Trot on Tuesday (March 23) at The Raceway at Western Fair District.

Super T took control from post 5 while Scene A Magician, leaving from the pylon post, settled into second until driver Greg Dustin dashed the seven-year-old Daylon Magician gelding to the point by a :28.3 opening quarter. Grabbing a breather to a :59.3 half, Scene A Magician soon faced pressure on lap two as odds-on favourite Sizzlen Hot Herbie angled first over from fourth and slowly advanced towards the leader nearing three-quarters in 1:29. Sizzlen Hot Herbie intensified the heat rounding the final turn, but Scene A Magician kept that rival at bay by a half length to the beam in a 1:58.3 mile. Super T finished third.

Owned and trained by Jennifer Pinkerton, Scene A Magician won his 18th race from 83 starts, earning $230,477. He paid $8.10 to win.
