Shakopee, Minn. -- Canterbury Park's Memorial Day race card featured a pair of $50,000 turf stakes, the Northbound Pride for 3-year-old fillies at one mile, and the Honor the Hero Stakes at five furlongs. Hotshot Anna won the Northbound Pride by a neck over Starr Bear. Alex Canchari was aboard for trainer Mac Robertson and owner Hugh Robertson. She paid $5.40 to win as the betting favorite. Final time over the firm course was 1:36.70.

Shadow Rock prevailed by 3/4 of a length over Wildfire Kid in the Honor the Hero but had to withstand a claim of foul by Wildfire Kid's trainer Robertino Diodoro who maintained that interference in the stretch cost his horse a chance to win. The stewards found no evidence to support the claim of foul and let the order of finish stand. Jockey Deshawn Parker was aboard the winner. Mike Maker trains the 7-year-old Shadow Rock for owner Michael Hui. Shadow Rock, who has won 11 of 45 career races, paid $8.20 to win. Final time for the five furlongs was 56.36 seconds.

"Everything just went perfect," Parker said. "I couldn't have drawn it up any better."
