Tyrone Bow Tie put together a snazzy performance as he went first-over for an upset victory in the $10,000 Preferred Handicap Trot on Wednesday, July 9 at Rideau Carleton Raceway for his second top-level win in his last three starts.

Ryan Guy slotted the gelding in fourth of five in a :26.3 first quarter provided by The Canam Banker (William Roy), who opened up five lengths on the rest as he raced to the half in :55.1. Tyrone Bow Tie started his march from 9-1/2 lengths back at the midway point and trekked forward uncovered down the backstretch, reaching the leader’s flank at three-quarters in 1:24.4. Tyrone Bow Tie rolled by him on the final turn and drew clear to win by four lengths in 1:55. Rose Run Why Not (Pascal Berube) closed on his back for second over The Canam Banker. The win price was $12.40.

Tyrone Bow Tie, trained by Mike Armstrong, collected his fifth win of the year in 17 starts. The five-year-old gelding is owned by Rachel Burns and Wade and Philip Tousignant of Cardinal, Ont. The son of Lookslikeachpndale-Risk Seeker is nine-for-46 lifetime with $91,991 in earnings.

Trainer Jean Beauregard celebrated a long-anticipated first win with the victorious Orlys Angel in the card's opener. Orlys Angel, who has raced all 11 of her starts to date for Beauregard, capitalized from the pocket when the pacesetter made a break on the final turn, rolling home to score by 1-1/4 lengths in 2:01.1 with Roy aboard. Angelic Seelster (Carl Duguay) was second with Next Of Kin (Marco Lanoie) far back in third. The winner paid $5.20.

Orlys Angel is now one-for-11 lifetime for owner Orlando Stables Inc. of Lasalle, Que. The four-year-old Archangel-Starter Up mare has earned $5,800.

Beauregard earned the maiden-breaking victory in 35 starts, close to 14 months after debuting with Orlys Pride at Rideau last May. The Saint-Jerome, Que.-based conditioner has four place finishes and three thirds.
