Etherium Party chased down odds-on chalk Snack Attack to score the first Preferred-class win of his career in the $14,500 Horses and Geldings Preferred Pace on Thursday, Oct. 29 at Flamboro Downs.

From the rail start, Austin Sorrie had Etherium Party release Snack Attack (Ed Hensley) on the first turn and follow along in the pocket through :27.1, :56.2 and 1:24.1 fractions. The leading pair left the rest behind as they raced into the final bend, with Etherium Party glued to the leader’s back until spinning off the turn. A length and three-quarters back at the top of the lane, Etherium Party charged to pick off the pacesetter by a neck in 1:52.1. It Takes Two (Lorne House) finished third.

The winning five-year-old son of Stag Party-Black Widow Baby tallied his fifth win of the season in 29 starts for trainer Jacob Roberts of Fergus, Ont., who co-owns him with Steve Adams of Rockwood, Ont. Etherium Party improved his career record to 16-for-61 and his bankroll to $138,401. He paid $12.10 to win.
