Next up was Cheque The Shine ($11.10), a four-year-old homebred daughter of Southwind Lustre, who broke her maiden in the eighth race in 2:06 with Stephen Davis in the bike for Keeling, who co-owns with Ronald Keeling of Owen Sound, Ont.

Keeling teamed up with Davis again to capture the finale with five-year-old Mutineer gelding Piracy ($13.20), who stopped the clock in 2:04 for Wellwood Stables Inc. and P C Wellwood Enterprises Inc.
