A determined Pyrite Mountain defeated Power Phil in a photo finish to capture Sunday’s $125,000 Kingarvie Stakes, at Woodbine.
The bay son of Silent Name, trained by Mark Frostad for the Awesome Again Racing Limited Partnership, broke his maiden in style with a spirited stretch run, under jockey Patrick Husbands, to overtake pacesetter Power Phil.
Power Phil set splits of :24.60, :49.16 and 1:13.63 in the 1 1/16-mile ‘Poly’ route, with Pyrite Mountain tracking from second position.
