Trainer Richard Moreau and driver Louis-Philippe Roy were a force to be reckoned with during the Friday night harness racing card at Woodbine Racetrack, picking up wins from start to finish.

Chickie Love ($3.60) set the tone for the evening with a front-stepping score in the opener for the dominant duo. Moreau trainees Hlddontghttoyurdrms ($3.60) later won the sixth race then Optima Kemp ($3.70) took the eighth race, both in rein to Roy. Reys N A Rocket ($8.50) emerged from the pocket in the stretch to win the Friday finale, marking the fourth win on the 10-race program for the trainer-driver combination of Moreau and Roy.

Moreau, a five-time Trainer of the Year who passed the $50 million career earnings mark one week ago, has maintained his position atop the national standings in 2018 with 77 wins and over $920,000 in purse earnings.

Roy, who also drove Hot Spot Hanover ($10.40) to victory in the fourth race on Friday for trainer Mike Bishop, leads all drivers with 94 wins in Canada and earnings just shy of $1 million.
