Euchred Romps In Preferred

Published: May 19, 2018 08:39 pm EDT

After being hung up three-wide to the quarter pole, Euchred powered to the lead and rolled to an easy score in Saturday’s $2,500 Preferred Pace at the Charlottetown Driving Park.

Adam Merner left hard and pressed for the lead with Euchred, who took on Winter Blast and Cartoon Daddy to the quarter pole in :27.3 before clearing to the top. Euchred proceeded to carve out middle splits of :57.1 and 1:26.1 before using a :29-second closing panel to win by 4-1/4 lengths over Cartoon Daddy. Ashes To Ashes was third.

Sent off as the 2-5 favourite, the six-year-old son of Shadow Play-Tipsy Taters won for the seventh time this season and for the 36th time in his career. He’s closing in on $80,000 in lifetime earnings for owner Kayla Habicht Walker.
