Driver Brandon Campbell worked out a perfect second over trip aboard Call Me Up in the $10,500 Fillies & Mares Open Pace at Fraser Downs and the six-year-old mare kicked home off cover to prevail over the sloppy track on Friday night as the longest shot on the board.
Just One More (Jim Marino) took control of the nine-horse field during a :27-second opener and continued to lead the way around the Surrey oval through a half in :57.1 and three-quarters in 1:26.1. However, Call Me Up rallied home off Prairie Illusion's (Scott Knight) cover in the stretch and defeated that rival by one length in 1:56.2 to post a 19-1 upset. Another 19-1 longshot, Skade (Keith Clark), closed from the back of the pack in the final quarter to edge out Just One More for third. The favoured entrymates, Cheyenne J (Travis Bowman) and Real Pretty (Serge Masse), finished less than two lengths behind in fifth and sixth.
Call Me Up lit up the the toteboard, paying $41.90 to win. The daughter of Peruvian Hanover was making her debut from the Rick Lancaster barn for new owners Westridge Stable of Langley and Wild Dunes Stables of Delta, B.C. The win was her sixth in 21 starts and lifted her bankroll to $44,647 for her six-year-old campaign.
