Alfie Carroll put the pedal to the metal early with Musical Spell in Thursday’s $8,500 Preferred 3 for trotters at Flamboro Downs, and the gelding responded with a front-stepping score in the nine-horse affair.
Musical Spell shot to the top from Post 3 and successfully chopped out panels of :28.3, :58.3 and 1:28.1 before scooting home in :30.3 to win by three-quarters of a length over Its Huw You Know in 1:58.4. Ole Jack Magic rallied late to take home the show dough.
Mike Guitard trains the seven-year-old son of Kadabra-Musical Victory for Haryott Stables Inc of Etobicoke, Ont. The win improved the gelding’s 2018 record to 1-2-1 from five tries and it lifted his lifetime earnings to $178,230.
