Driver Brandon Campbell made his trip to Fraser Downs worthwhile on Friday night (Feb. 10), winning five of the evening's nine races including the featured $10,000 Open Pace with Outlaw C My Shadow.
Outlaw C My Shadow topped a trio of Kelly Hoerdt trainees by 1-1/2 lengths in 1:51.3, winning the Open for the second straight week for trainer Connie Kolthammer and Outlaw West Stable.
Leaving from the inside with Campbell catch-driving, 1-5 favourite Outlaw C My Shadow pocketed Joe Dimagio (David Hudon) through a :26.1 opening quarter then cruised through middle splits of :55.4 and 1:23.2 on the way to victory lane. Joe Dimagio held second over Armycaptin Hanover (Hoerdt), who was unable to improve position with a first-over move down the backstretch and followed in third. Lets Tie One On (Scott Knight) was the best of the rest.
Outlaw C My Shadow paid $2.40 to win. The six-year-old Shadow Play-Grand Slam Woman gelding, who closed out his 2022 campaign with a pair of Open wins in November, now has 14 victories to date and $145,322 in lifetime earnings.
Campbell also made winner's circle appearances with Sam The Cat ($2.60), Radar Enforced ($9), Major Winker ($6.60) and Ponggo ($3.50) throughout the nine-race card.
Fresh off a career-year in 2022 while becoming the first driver with a $2 million season competing exclusively in Western Canada, Campbell has already earned $133,570 this year while winning 23 races from 76 starts and boasts a 0.475 UDRS.
