14-1 longshot Outlawelectricblue steals the spotlight at Fraser Downs

The biggest upset of the night (Mar. 1) at Fraser Downs was when the 14-1 Outlawelectricblue (Captive Audience) stole the fifth race.

The three-year-old filly clung to the rail as fast as she could when the gates flew open. She found herself sitting in fourth as Great Emotion led the pack. After a speedy. 27.1 opening quarter the pace slowed down to a 57.1 half and 1:27.3 three-quarters. Great Emotion held the lead until Outlawelectricblue came flying down the stretch and snatched the race in 1:57.1. Great Emotion would fall out of the top three. Catchmegracefully finished second and Heart Of A Dragon finished third.
