Canada’s leading driver, Billy Davis Jr., sent the nine-year-old Shotgun Scott gelding to command from Post 3 in the field of $8,000 to $10,000 claimers and never looked back en route to the two length victory in 1:57. Lyons Elite (Scott Coulter) came on for second while pocket-sitter Hes A Lion (Anthony MacDonald) finished nearly five lengths back in third.

The Deputy Is Home paid $3.10 to win as the 1-2 favourite. He is now a perfect five-for-five this year with $14,400 banked for the McMaster Stables Inc. of Guelph, Ont. Lifetime, the 26-time winner has earned over $288,000.
