Im The Prince rolled to his second consecutive win in the Tuesday, July 30 featured event at Ocean Downs, an $11,806 top-level conditioned pace.
After sitting the pocket behind Major Key through a :27 first split, Jonathan Ahle quarter-moved 2-5 favourite Im The Prince to the front on the second turn. From there, the five-year-old Luck Be Withyou-Move On B B gelding coasted clear of his seven rivals, throwing down a :27.3 third quarter to build up a five-length lead turning for home and evading a late rally from Cruise Patrol by 2-1/2 lengths to win in 1:53.3. Major Key held third.
