P L Oliver matched strides with Cheddar Bay at the finish line to dead heat for the win in this week's $12,500 Preferred Handicap Pace at The Raceway at Western Fair District on Friday, May 1.

While Cheddar Bay and J Harris were busy fighting off a first-over challenge from B Stoney and Garrett Rooney on the front end down the backstretch the final time, favoured P L Oliver rallied three-wide into contention for catch-driver Austin Sorrie as they raced by three-quarters in 1:25 and caught the pacesetter at the wire in 1:55.2 in a dead heat for the win. B Stoney was game through the stretch but finished three-quarters of length back in between the top pair.
