Stash The Cookies rebounds with Preferred victory

Stash The Cookies (Sunfire Blue Chip) bounced back from her first off-the-board finish since June with her ninth victory of the season in the Fillies and Mares Preferred victory at Century Mile on Friday (Nov. 15).

The top Alberta mare, driven by Dave Kelly, carved out panels of :27.2, :55.3, and 1:24.3 on the engine, turning for home in control. Outlaw Sharktastic (Nathan Sobey) gave chase down the lane, but Stash The Cookies closed it out to win by a length-and-a-half in 1:52.3. Outlaw Sharktastic was second-best, followed by Outlawabovenbeyond (Mike Hennessy).
