Kelly Hoerdt trainee Codename Cigar Box once again reigned supreme over his peers, overcoming an assigned outer post to win the $13,500 Preferred Pace on a 17-race cavalcade at Century Downs on Saturday (June 25).

Off a runner-up finish to end his six-race win streak, the four-year-old Custard The Dragon gelding Codename Cigar Box landed back in the winner’s circle at Century Downs on Tuesday (May 24) with a win in the $10,500 featured pace.

The six-year-old Sunfire Blue Chip mare Stash The Cookies swooped to the lead in the final circuit and stormed clear to win the $10,500 Open Pace on Tuesday (May 17) at Century Downs.

Odds-on favourite Graceful Horizon blazed the Century Downs oval on Saturday (May 14) to post a track-record mile in winning the $30,000 Bev Sears Memorial.

It was a productive Saturday at the office for driver Phil Giesbrecht who hauled home five wins during the 12-race card at Century Downs.

After a near miss when finishing second in last week’s top class for distaffers at Century Downs, Stash The Cookies bounced back to take home all the marbles in Saturday’s main event for mares at the Alberta oval.

Off the odds-on choice, Stash The Cookies ground uncovered to the front and put away her competition to take the $10,500 featured pace in the opening-day card — an afternoon that saw conditioner Brent Bodor score a hat trick — at Century Downs on Saturday (Feb. 26).
