Sent the 1-5 favourite, Ramblinglily swept to the lead on the second circuit and cruised to a 1:56.3 victory in the $1,675 Winners-Over Pace at Truro Raceway on Sunday, Nov. 4.
Driver Todd Trites placed the Allan Jones trainee third to a :28 opening quarter set by Stature Seelster. Past a :57.3 half, Trites edged the favourite first over heading towards the backstretch and quickly cleared control moving to a 1:27 third quarter. Perceptor, left first over, moved into second heading into the stretch and chased Ramblinglily to the wire one-and-a-quarter lengths behind in second. Rusty Riley, off a pocket trip, took third.
