A Monte Saddle qualifying trot was held at the Alexandra Park harness races on Friday night and drew a field of three starters.
Meander With Pegasus trained by Jay Abernethy led all the way and held off the challenge of Cool Son in the straight to win by a half a head.
Cool Son did well to get as close as he did after galloping at the start and losing a large stretch of ground.
The race was run under Mobile conditions a rare sight for monte racing in this country.
