Last winning in Century Downs’ featured class in 2018, Tajmeallover – the 2016 Alberta Horse of the Year – scored her first victory as a 10-year-old in the $8,100 Fillies & Mares Open Pace on Tuesday (Aug. 10).

The veteran mare landed last of the sextet to a :28.1 quarter set by 3-5 favourite Mrs Suhwiggins and remained at the back of affairs through a :57.1 half. And though the tempo quickened into the backstretch, trainer-driver J. F. Gagne fired his mare from last to the lead passing three-quarters in 1:25. She continued in control around the final turn and coasted home a two-length winner over Mrs Suhwiggins, with Glimpseofgoodness rallying from last for third.

Co-owned by Gagne with Peter Van Seggelen, Carl Warnaar and Tapron Holdings Ltd., Tajmeallover won her first race from seven starts this season and her 52nd from 149 overall, earning $459,592. The daughter of Tajma Hall paid $12.60 to win.

In the co-featured $8,100 Open Pace, Armycaptin Hanover kicked off a quick pace to win in 1:54.1. The five-year-old gelding by Captaintreacherous sat off fractions of :27 and :55 established by a duel between 2-1 favourite Icy Blue Scooter and first-over Tiempo Hanover. As the fire dwindled on the point, trainer-driver Kelly Hoerdt loomed closer with his charge and looped tiring horses after three-quarters in 1:24. He slid to the finish three-quarter lengths better than Dontpokethdragon while Icy Blue Scooter held onto third.

Owned by Hoerdt along with Blair Corbeil, Armycaptin Hanover won his sixth race from 12 starts this season and his 18th from 64 overall, earning $99,595. He paid $6.80 to win.
