Sobey slams at Century

Nathan Sobey began the Tuesday card at Century Downs with a natural hat trick and closed the day with four winners.

He crushed the field with Two Tone Terror (1:55) in the opener then scored two straight open-length wins in the second and third aboard Imafoxytwo (1:57.4) and Sometime Somewhere (1:53.3), respectively. Sobey completed his grand slam with Uchasemikissm (1:56.1) in the fifth. He trains Two Tone Terror, Sometime Somewhere, and Uchasemikissm.

The feature pace went to Brandon Campbell, though, as he drove Just A Start to a wire-to-wire upset score.

Just A Start sprinted away from the gate and asserted himself on the lead in a :28 first quarter clocking. The horse went to the half in :57.1 and turned away a first-over challenger en route to three-quarters in 1:25.1 before storming to the finish in a 1:54.3 two-and-a-half-length romp.

JUST A START REPLAY

Outlaw Gunsablazin (Jamie Gray) closed in the stretch for second; Crackle N Burn (Paul Giesbrecht) was third. The winner paid $17.40.

With the win, Just A Start tallied his first of the season and eighth lifetime. The five-year-old gelding by Western Terror has earned more than $65,000 from 55 career attempts. Campbell trains for Jodi Loftus, George Rogers, and Raymond Henry, who all live in Calgary.

Century Downs is in action again on Sunday, Jun. 27 at 2:15 p.m. MDT.
