Campbellville, ON -- (Sports Network) - Hambletonian champ Deweycheatumnhowe rebounded from his first career loss to win the $1 million Canadian Trotting Classic Final Saturday at Mohawk Racetrack. Starting from the far outside post the three-year-old trotted the mile in 1:53 2/5.

With trainer and co-owner Ray Schnittker driving, Deweycheatumnhowe posted a two-length victory over 7-2 third choice Clerk Magistrate. Crazed, who beat Deweycheatumnhowe last week, faded to third after setting most of the pace.

Deweycheatumnhowe, leaving from post 10, took the lead going into the clubhouse turn and led the field into the backstretch. Crazed, driven by Tim Tetrick, charged up on the outside to assume the lead midway up the backstretch.

Deweycheatumnhowe raced in second behind Crazed with Clerk Magistrate joining the pair on the lead. Down the stretch the 6-5 favorite moved to the outside of Crazed and powered his way to victory and avenge the only loss in his career.

"I really didn't like my chances," Schnittker said, "but he just showed me how good a horse he is. He's an unbelievable horse."

Clerk Magistrate, the 3-1 third choice, was second with Crazed third in the 10 horse field.

Completing the order finish was Yonkers Trot winner Napoleon, Mccarron, Velocity Hall, Nureyev, Atomic Hall, B Strike Three and Celebrity Secret.

This year Deweycheatumnhowe has won eight of nine starts more than $1.6 million. Along with the Hambletonian the colt won the World Trotting Derby and the Stanley Dancer Memorial this season.

"I don't know, it just seems like he threw in a clunker," said Schnittker about last week's loss in an elimination race. "He just wasn't on top his game."

Overall, the colt has earned $2.8 million with 18 wins in 19 lifetime races.

Deweycheatumnhowe paid $4.60, $3.20 and $2.20. Clerk Magistrate returned $4.00 and $2.50, and 3-2 second choice Crazed paid $2.10 to show.
