Idyllic Defeats See You At Peelers

Swedish Horse Power "GASTROMIN" Feed has proven to be a real success story for Idyllic

Laying her perfect 22-race win streak on the line in the $193,150 Nadia Lobell from the outside post position amidst of field of nine three-year-old pacing fillies, See You At Peelers was defeated by Idyllic in a shocker at The Meadows on Monday afternoon.

Heavy 1-5 favourite See You At Peelers and driver Marcus Johansson blasted to command off the gate and carved out brisk fractions of :26.1, :53.1 and 1:21.1 with Idyllic and David Miller advancing first up from fifth. The daughter of American Ideal-Magical Dreamer, who was within reach of 'Peelers' around the final turn, soared past the tiring pacesetter in the stretch to score the 1:50 track record triumph. Myluvmylife (Brian Sears) finished second off a pocket trip and Swinging Beauty (Doug McNair) was third.

See You At Peelers finished sixth in her first ever career loss.

"She raced unbelievably good," said Miller of his filly. "Last week [in the Valley Forge at Harrah's Chester] I got away third and made the same move and she wasn't wasn't there. My filly was much better today. With [See You At Peelers starting from] the outside post and [trainer Ron] Burke had three of them in there I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but I didn't think it would be easy."

Idyllic, Canada's 2010 Two-Year-Old Pacing Filly of the Year, has hit the board in all eight of her prior starts this season while chasing after See You At Peelers.

"It's our turn. That's an amazing horse and to beat her is an amazing thing," continued Miller. "She's been right there with 'Peelers' every week. I was surprised that she beat her and I was really surprised with the way she did it."

Idyllic paid $12 to win for the 5-1 upset. Casie Coleman trains the millionairess for the West Wins Stable of Cambridge, Ont., Michael La Cova and Joseph Lacova of West Islip, New York, and John Campagnuolo of Loxahatchee, Florida.
