Shezacullengirl showed plenty of determination to hold out all challenges in the John Devlin Memorial Invited Drivers Mobile Pace.
She was seriously taken on mid-race by Delishka before holding onto her lead. Hot favourite Franco Tai was waiting in the trail to challenge but wasn't good enough to beat Shezacullengirl who held on under the urgings of driver Gavin Smith.
It was the Tank Ellis trained mare's fifth win in eleven starts.
Kirk Larsen doesn't train many trotters so when Prince George won at Ascot Park today it was the first time he'd trained a squaregaiter since Yaldy Boyz won at Winton in 2011.

He's only had the trotter since October after he was left down here by his previous trainer David McCormick.
