;">Following a weather delay due to heavy rains that rolled in mid-card, the track was downgraded to 'sloppy' for the Allerage Mares Open. But the weather didn't deter Shelliscape from rallying home off cover to win her debut for new owner Bamond Racing LLC and trainer Richard 'Nifty' Norman.

 

Drop The Ball (Corey Callahan) worked her way to the top spot during a :27.2 opening quarter and proceeded to lead the field of talented mares through middle fractions of :56.3 and 1:24.1. Meanwhile, favourite Rocklamation (Yannick Gingras) moved underway from third with Shelliscape and Tim Tetrick following her cover. Rocklamation eventually wore down the leader in the stretch, but Shelliscape came flying by to score the mild 5-1 upset in 1:51.2. Longshot Camille (Matt Kakaley) closed on the far outside to steal the runner-up honours from Rocklamation while Drop The Ball finished fourth.

 

The victory was the fifth of the day for the hot-handed Tetrick.

 

Shelliscape, a daughter of Artiscape, earned the third win of her four-year-old campaign and 11th lifetime while boosting her bankroll over the $700,000 mark.
