The now four-year-old daughter of Shadow Play converted a second-over trip from driver Sylvain Filion for her fourth-consecutive score in the $30,000 top-class.
Exhilarated left quickest and led the field of seven to the opening-quarter in :28.1. Request For Parole made a second-quarter move to the lead from fourth and led the field by the half in :58.1.
P L Hurricane angled out at the half from third to commit first over, providing cover for Kendall Seelster from fifth. Request For Parole led by just under a length at three-quarters in 1:26.
In the stretch Kendall Seelster powered off cover and charged home in :27 to secure her fourth win in a row. Double A Mint rallied from sixth at the head of the lane to edge Just Her Luck for second while P L Hurricane was fourth.
Kendall Seelster moved up to the Preferred level in late October and capped her sophomore campaign with several victories against aged rivals. The Rod Boyd trainee is now undefeated in two starts this season after winning nine of 23 and earning $283,465 in 2018.
Saturday’s victory brings Kendall Seelster’s career stats to 15 wins and $767,450 earned for owners 1187422 Ontario Inc. She paid $2.60 to win.
Along with Saturday’s $30,000 feature, millionaire pacer Sintra collected his second-consecutive win after a layoff with a strong 1:52.1 victory in a $27,000 event. The six-year-old gelding sat second-over turning for home and powered by rivals in the lane for driver Jody Jamieson.
Trained by Dave Menary, Sintra returned to the races last week for the first-time in over three-months and won in 1:53.1. The 2017 Canadian Pacing Derby champion was moving up to face tougher company Saturday, including a trio exiting the Preferred, and prevailed for his 20th victory.
Sintra is owned by Brad Gray, Michael Guerriero and Menary Racing Inc.
