Georgian Hosts Freshman Trotters In Prospect Series
Freshman trotters headlined the Georgian Downs card on Tuesday (July 25) as they competed in the Prospect Series.
Eiffel Power and Samuel Fillion won the $8,700 division for two-year-old colts.
Eiffel Power took the early lead to the quarter in :30.4 before favoured Expidition Pass (Reginald Gassien) became the pacesetter for the remainder of the mile. Eiffel Power followed the leader through panels in 1:02 and 1:33. Down the stretch, there were three across the track as Eiffel Power, Boyden (Paul Walker) and Expidition Pass sought the victory. Eiffel Power prevailed by a nose over Boyden, who beat Expidition Pass in third by a neck. The final time of the mile was clocked in 2:03.2.
Blake MacIntosh trains Eiffel Power for Glenn Dyke as the My MVP-French Doll colt won his first race in three career attempts. He paid $12.30 to win.
Chaud Holliday won the $8,600 split for freshman fillies with Ryan Holliday in the bike for David Holliday.
Chaud Holliday rode the pocket trip behind pacesetter Graceful China (Jason Ryan) through panels in :31.1, 1:03.3 and 1:34.3 before pulling away in the stretch to win by 2-3/4 lengths in 2:04.1. The Blondy (Colin Kelly) took second and Graceful China finished third.
