Art I Special and Redmond Doucet followed along for second-place honours for the second straight week while J N J, driven by Bruce McGean, rounded out the top three finishers over eight lengths behind.

The four-year-old son of Western Paradise is bred, trained and co-owned by Turnbull. John Turnbull Jr. also shares ownership.

Junebugs Baby has earned five victories this year to give him 19 wins lifetime and push his career bankroll to nearly $70,000.

Ten-year-old pacer Cant Be Caught reached a special career milestone earlier on the card as earned his 50th career win. The son of Northern Luck notched his second win in a row, prevailing in a claiming race by two lengths in 2:01.3 for driver John Gerard Kennedy and owner/trainer Donald Allan Kennedy of Frankville, N.S.
