LA Sun Control, R Royal Port Take Western Fair Preferreds

LA Sun Control wins the Preferred Pace over Docsphillycheese

The 10-race Tuesday (May 6) card at The Raceway at Western Fair District saw a pair of mild upsets in the $11,500 features, with L A Sun Control taking the Preferred Pace and R Royal Port scoring down the road in the Preferred Trot.

The Preferred Pace served as the fifth race of the card, seeing LA Sun Control leave from post three at 4-1 with driver Paul Mackenzie in the bike.

Mackenzie settled LA Sun Control into the fourth position off the wings of the gate while a fired up Hollys Treasure (Tyler Borth) rocketed to the lead from post six to cut the quarter in :28.2. Hollys Treasure jumped it off on the lead entering the second turn, causing confusion throughout the field as horses checked to move around the breaking leader, with It Takes Two (Lorne House) jumping it off as well from third due to the interference. During this, LA Sun Control and Paul Mackenzie wheeled to the outside, moving to the lead just prior to the half in :58.1. LA Sun Control opened up by multiple lengths on the third turn before Docsphillycheese (Garrett Rooney) began to reel the leader in first-over at three-quarters in 1:26.1.

Docsphillycheese powered to the leader's wheel around the final turn, with the stage set for a stretch duel turning for home. Under left-handed urging from Mackenzie in the lane, LA Sun Control dug in to fend off Docsphillycheese by a half-length in 1:55.4. Leave It To Luther (Jason Ryan) finished third, 2-1/2 lengths behind the winner.

Rick Edwards trains and co-owns LA Sun Control with Michael Tam. The five-year-old gelded son of Control The Moment-Sunbather has won four of 12 in 2025 and sports a career bankroll of $91,397.
