Treasured Tee and driver Travis Henry delivered a gate-to-wire victory in the $12,000 Preferred Handicap Trot, capping off a training triple for Francis Guillemette on Monday, March 3 at The Raceway at Western Fair District.

Following an early break from Gold Edition (Blair Burgess), Treasured Tee took command right off the gate, setting a first quarter in :29 and a halftime in one minute flat. The gelding maintained his lead through three-quarters in 1:30.1, while 2-1 favourite Marvin Hagler (Austin Sorrie) tipped from third around the final turn. However, nobody could catch the pacesetter. Treasured Tee held strong to win in 2:00.3 by 1-1/4 lengths over the 'good' track. Insanity (Jason Ryan) was second and Marvin Hagler claimed the show spot.

A 10-year-old Yankee Glide-Platinum T gelding, Treasured Tee is co-owned by trainer Francis Guillemette and Stephane Geoffroy. With this Preferred victory, Treasured Tee now boasts 37 career wins and has surpassed the $500,000 mark in earnings, currently sitting at $504,805.
