First Training Win For Parish

Published: May 22, 2016 03:17 am EDT

Calgary's Robert Parish celebrated his first training victory on Saturday, May 21 as his pacing mare They Call Me Rosie ($3.40) won the seventh race at Century Downs Racetrack and Casino.

Driven by Nathan Sobey, They Call Me Rosie tracked the cover of second tier starter Officialconnection in the seventh race for $4,000 claiming mares and then rallied past her in the stretch to win by one and a quarter lengths in 1:59.3 over the 'good' track. Parish owns the seven-year-old Freedoms Pass mare, who has won 18 races in her career, and recently took over the training duties.

Meanwhile, Travis Cullen added to his meet-leading win totals with a training/driving triple on the nine-race card. The maiden-breaking sophomore pacing colt Canelo ($8) and older mares Runway Model ($3) and Cowgirl Poker ($3.40) pushed the Cullen stable's seasonal win count to 97 for a two-point lead over Richard Moreau in the nation-wide trainer standings.
