Century Downs played host to the popular Packwood Grand infield social event on Saturday (Aug. 6) with stakes action on the menu for the horsepeople and the horseplayers.

With a three-wide move on the backstretch, Stash The Cookies went from last to first in the blink of an eye and drew off to score her third consecutive victory in the $13,500 Fillies & Mares Preferred Handicap Pace at Century Downs on Friday (July 22).

Trainer/driver Logan Gillis put Stash The Cookies on top early and scored a repeat victory in Century Downs' $13,500 Fillies & Mares Preferred Pace during the first Friday evening card of the summer at the Calgary oval.

Once Divine Art swept to the lead past the half, the remaining competition could just chase in her wake as the Nate Sobey-trained favourite romped to a 1:53.3 win in the $56,600 Alberta Diamond Final on Saturday (July 9) at Century Downs.

Century Downs hosted a packed card of action Saturday (July 2) which included six $7,500 eliminations for the Alberta Sires Stakes with three Alberta Marksman eliminations for three-year-old pacing colts and geldings and three Alberta Diamond eliminations for three-year-old pacing fillies.
