CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — After an early break in stride Silver Beast saw himself with a sizeable deficit but circled up to win the featured Dr. Blair Kelly Memorial pace Friday night at Red Shores at the Charlottetown Driving Park.
Dale Spence was behind the MacKenzie MacInnis-trainee in the Kelly Memorial, presented by the Charlottetown Vet Clinic, but was on the run behind the gate before catching back on stride to get away last. Paris Beau (Gilles Barrieau) sliced out the front-end fractions of 29.2, 59.1 and 1:28.2 with Silver Beast beginning a three-wide advance from the back before getting up in the final strides.
The four-year-old son of Betterthancheddar stopped the clock in 1:57.2 for owner Island Silver Stable of Kelvin Grove. Paris Beau was second while Tempo Seelster (Ken Murphy) finished third.
