Campbell completes quintuple in Preferred

Stash The Cookies (Sunfire Blue Chip) went wire-to-wire in the Fillies and Mares Preferred at Century Mile on Friday (Dec. 1) to give harness racing driver Brandon Campbell his fifth win of the day.

The mare cut the mile in her 99th career start, setting quarters of :28.3, :57.2, and 1:25.4. Outlaw Sharktastic (Nathan Sobey) pushed along first-over but capitulated at the head of the stretch. Stash The Cookies completed the job, holding off Gold Onthehorizon (Phil Giesbrecht) by a length-and-a-quarter in 1:54.2. Sunshineatthebeach (Jamie Gray) took the show spot from the pocket.
