Three-year-old pacing colt Son Of Rocknroll recovered from an early break in stride to win the NLSBA Stake Invitational on Sunday at St. John's Racing and Entertainment Centre.
Trained and driven by local horseman Daniel Williams, Son Of Rocknroll made up his 12 length deficit to defeat pacesetter Salmonier Storm by half a length in 2:05.2 in the $1,200 non-wagering race. The Rocknroll Hanover-Village Blush colt has now won six of his 11 starts in his sophomore year. Two-year-old fillies Force Of Grey and Silverhill Legacy were a distant third and fourth to complete the field.
Inspired Art romped to a nine length victory in the $535 Preferred Pace in 2:03 for Brad and Scott Forward and owner Elizabeth Courtney of Maddox Cove, NL. The win was his third in a row and gives him a six-for-nine record this year. His stablemate Dustylane Wildbill was the runner-up in rein to Shane Forward.
Kevin Dillion had a training triple on the eight-race card.
