Goodoldhockeygame, patiently handled by Eurico Rosa da Silva, surged to the lead near the top of the lane and stayed on strong to the wire to capture Saturday’s $126,200 Overskate Stakes, at Woodbine.

Trained by Bob Tiller, the Frank Di Giulio Jr. homebred son of Old Forester-Domasca Bella arrived at the seven furlong ‘Poly’ sprint for Ontario-sired stock from a driving 1/2-length score over the same distance and footing in an August 26 optional claiming event.

True Executive showed early speed in the Overskate to mark the opening quarter in :22.80 before bearing out and allowing Kingsport to take command, under pressure from Marten Lake, through a swift half in :44.96.
