Lord Shogun broke strongly out of the gate from the widest post in the field of 11 and led every step of the way to win the $100,000 Alberta Derby (Can-G3) on June 15 at Stampede Park. The race is the Calgary, Alberta, track's annual showcase event for three-year-olds.

A gelding by Maudlin, out of the Golden Reserve mare Aero Duchess, Lord Shogun set fractions of :23, :47.40, 1:12.80, and 1:39.20 under jockey David Wilson before hitting the wire in 1:46.20 in the 1 1/16-mile race. Regal Rebel followed 2 3/4 lengths behind in second, while Silent Shoes was another 2 1/4 lengths back in third. Intact, the 1.90-to-favorite, finished last.

Lord Shogun entered the Alberta Derby off of an allowance win at Hastings Park on May 12 in his three-year-old debut. He improved his career record to three wins and two seconds in six starts for trainer Robert Van Overschot and has earned $96,027 for owner-breeder Canyon Farms.
