Pushed five-wide around the final turn, Rembrandt Spur charged through the slop to capture Wednesday’s $22,500 Preferred Handicap Trot for his third straight victory

.

Rembrandt Spur got away an unhurried sixth for trainer-driver Dick Stillings, but erased a five-length deficit with his impressive late brush. He triumphed in 1:55.4, two and a quarter lengths better than Bettis, who was hard used in the opening panel. Hardwood Chips finished third.

Roy Davis owns Rembrandt Spur, a five-year-old Pegasus Spur-Marty E gelding who pushed his career bankroll to $439,503.
