A set of Preferred events highlighted Thursday evening’s card of racing at The Raceway at Western Fair District, and it was the Duane Marfisi-trained tandem of Chiefs Beach and Conquest AS taking care of business.

Chiefs Beach blasted to the lead from Post 7 for driver Marc St. Louis, Jr. and made every pole a winning one en route to the 1:55 decision.

The 6-5 favourite sailed through splits of :27.2, :57.1 and 1:25.1 before kicking home in :29.4 to win by five lengths over Homey Joe. Third prize was earned by Racemup.

Duane Marfisi trains the five-year-old son of Sunshine Beach-Todaysyourluckyday for owner Percy Elkins of Milton, ON. The win was the fifth of the season and the eighth to date for the career winner of $95,576.

Conquest AS went to the front and didn’t look back en route to a 1:59.2 score in the $10,000 Preferred 3 for trotters.

Marc St. Louis, Jr. hustled the four-year-old son of Conway Hall-Cordele AS to the lead from Post 1 and together they sped through fractions of :29.1, :59.4 and 1:28.1 before coasting home in :31.1 to win by 4-1/2 lengths over Scene A Magician. Katch Kanna took home third prize in the six-horse affair.

Sent off as the 3-2 favourite, Conquest AS posted his fourth win of the season from 29 starts while pushing his lifetime win total to 13 with the triumph. The career winner of $141,618, who also hangs his harness bag in the barn of trainer Duane Marfisi, is owned by Roy Sproxton, Harbhajan Singh Dillon, Darryl Kaplan and Green And Gold Ltd.

St. Louis, Jr. tacked on three other victories to complete a five-win performance on the card. He also clicked with Can Be A Treasure (2:03.2), Real Wicked (1:59.2) and Debs New Man (1:59.3).
