Camblazer and Oral Fixation finally got a chance to strut their stuff in a pair of $30,000 BC Stallion Stake Finals for two-year-olds this afternoon at Fraser Downs after a series of cancellations in late-December and early-January caused them to be put on hold
.
In the stake final for colts and geldings, Bill Davis took Camblazer right to the front of the field from Post 5 and laid down fractions of 28.3, 58.1 and 1:27.3 before kicking away by six and three-quarter lengths for the win in a new mark of 1:56.4.
Ronnie Rickles (Scott Knight) was the runner-up and Im The Money (David Hudon) was third.
The now three-year-old Camblazer scored his second win in seven starts and bumped his earnings to $35,018. The Camcracker colt is trained by David Hudon for Bill Boden of Vancouver, B.C.
In the fillies’ event, Oral Fixation held on by a neck for her second lifetime score in 1:59.1.
Sugar Mountain (Rod Therres) and Crackers And Surf (Glenn White) each took their turn on the front end while Oral Fixation rolled out from third before the :59.1 half. She claimed the lead at the third quarter pole in 1:28.1 and was able to hold off a quick closing Austin Minnie (Rich White), who broke at the wire, for the win. Crackers And Surf was third.
A winner of $35,155, the three-year-old Kents On Nuke filly hangs her harness in the Walter Slopianka stable. She is owned by the J J J Stables of Aldergrove, B.C. and Alan Anderson of Willows, California.
In other action, Real Beauty, who has been a consistent contender in the Fillies & Mares Open Pace, offered up no surprises this afternoon when she romped to her fourth straight win in the $17,000 event.
The five-year-old daughter of Camluck carved out panels of :28.3, :57.3 and 1:25.1 in rein to trainer David McKellar before sprinting home in :28.3 for a four-length victory in a new lifetime mark of 1:53.4.
Lil Kim (James Burke) rode the pocket to finish second and Adorable Killean (David Hudon) was third.
Robert Murphy of Surrey B.C. owns the winner of 19 races and over $280,000.
