Abbey Road C Perfect in PreferredThe wins keep coming and the cash keeps flowing for O.S.S. graduate Abbey Road C, who equaled North America's fastest mile of the season for a trotter when he froze the teletimer in 1:53.2 in Monday's Preferred Trot at Woodbine Racetrack.
In rein to trainer/driver Keith Jones, the eight-year-old son of Incredible Abe - Jayport Whimsey marched to immediate command and successfully laid down panels of :26.4, :55.3 and 1:24 en route to notching the 45th win of his career. Speed Bomb (Mario Baillargeon) was 2-3/4 lengths behind the winner and Texas Photo (Randy Waples) rounded out the top three in the $36,000 contest.
His seasonal bankroll climbed to $63,550 and his overall total stands at $1,546,980.

Another Milestone For Abbey Road CWith his upset victory in Saturday's fourth race at Woodbine Racetrack, the classy Abbey Road C (Incredible Abe - Jayport Whimsey) surpassed another career milestone.
The winner's share of the $22,000 purse easily put him past the $1.5 million mark in career earnings for the Estate of George Charlton of Utopia, On. and trainer-driver Keith Jones. Lifetime, he has made 43 trips to the winner's circle and
he becomes just the seventh Canadian-sired performer to top $1.5 million in earnings.
Among the eight-year-old's career highlights are wins in the Frank Ryan Memorial Trot (twice), the Earl Rowe Memorial Trot (twice) and the Dream Of Glory.
