In the matching pacing event one race later, Mattscape Seelster and driver Dave Wall took top honours winning in front-end fashion as well. The eight-year-old son of Artiscape-Mattjestic paced past stations of :26.4, :57.2 and 1:24.3 before crossing the wire in 1:52.1, one length ahead of Grand Bend Turbo (Mark Pezzarello) and Taylor C (D Johnson).
