Surrealist closed out the Truro Raceway meet with his third straight victory in the top $1,475 Winners Over class on Sunday afternoon (January 22).

Surrealist and trainer/driver Paul Langille reeled in Allstar Man, who was off to a quick start and built up a 10-length lead over his five rivals through opening panels of :28.1 and :57.2 over the 'good' track. Advancing from fourth during the first half-mile, Surrealist moved into second-place within three lengths of the pacesetter at the 1:28.3 third quarter mark and had him collared by the final turn en route to a 1:59.3 score. Pasta Vera tracked the winner throughout and finished three-quarters of a length behind in second while Allstar Man settled for third just over two lengths behind.

Owned by Dana Getto of New Waterford, N.S., the 11-year-old Modern Art gelding is now three-for-three to start the year following his 2016 campaign in which he was the North American co-leader for wins with 19 triumphs.

Surrealist is one of many horses in North America with a chart-topping three wins early in 2017. Among them is the undefeated three-year-old pacing colt Saulsbrook Lanny, who won the afternoon opener in 2:03.1 for driver Carl Isenor, trainer William McNeil and owners Mike Brealey and Saulsbrook Stables Inc. Four Starz Hold Em is also three-for-three this year after his 2:01.1 victory in the fourth race with Todd Trites driving for Don and Debbie Ellis.

The final race of the meet was won by 14-year-old Lil Orphan Cam in 2:02.3 for Jeff Ellis and Dawn Ellis Abbott, giving Trites his third driving win on Truro's six-race closing card.
