After coming up a neck short as the 1-4 favourite on Sunday, Donald Beaton's Daddy Let Me Drive ($3.40) refused to relinquish control at any point of Wednesday's (Aug. 11) $1,250 pacing feature at Inverness Raceway.

Rodney Gillis and Daddy Let Me Drive sprinted to the lead from post 3 and seated Dan Dar Mal in the pocket through a :28.4 first quarter. After rating a :58.4 half, the seven-year-old I Can Only Imagine gelding shrugged off a first-over challenge from Chase N Madi up the backstretch before using :28.3 closing speed to edge clear by 1-3/4 lengths in 1:57.2. Rockemsockem Scott saved ground through the far turn and emerged up the pegs for second over the tiring Dan Dar Mal.

Daddy Let Me Drive, whom Donald Beaton both owns and trains, won for the 23rd time in his career and the fourth time this season.
