Shanghai Phil Repeats At Georgian
For the second week-in-a-row at Georgian Downs, former Grand Circuit star Shanghai Phil turned in a rock solid victory as he continues down the comeback trail
Shanghai Phil, who was making his third start of the season for trainer Dustin Jones, was an easy winner for driver Sylvain Filion. The eight-year-old son of Blissfull Hall motored through panels of :27, :55.2 and 1:23.3 before finishing them off with a :28-second final frame.
