Trot Insider has learned that 2018 Ontario Sires Stakes Super Final winner and highly-touted sophomore pacer Keystone Concrete passed away on Saturday (March 9).
Trained by Rob Fellows and owned by Yolanda Fellows, Arpad Szabo and Blair Corbeil, Keystone Concrete assembled a sparkling 5-2-0 record from his seven freshman starts while earning $214,850. He took his lifetime mark of 1:52 in the 2018 OSS Super Final, knocking off divisional rivals Stag Party, Bettors Wish and Bronx Seelster in an 11-1 upset.
Fellows and the ownership group plucked the son of Bettors Delight - Keystone Caitlyn from the Standardbred Horse Sales Co.'s yearling sale in Harrisburg, Pa. for $18,000. The colt was one of 82 sophomores paid into the 2019 Pepsi North America Cup.
Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the connections of Keystone Concrete.
Oh No. How heartbreaking.
