Published: November 14, 2015 10:08 pm EST

Junebugs Baby closed out the Northside Downs meet with back-to-back wins in the $1,350 Winners Over Pace for trainer/driver Fraser Turnbull.

Fresh off his top class victory last weekend, favourite Junebugs Baby ($4.10) advanced first over from fourth and wore down pacesetter Le Fugueur to score again by one and a quarter lengths in 2:00.1 over the "good" track. Gotfaithincowboys finished third.

The homebred son of Western Paradise earned his eighth win at the Northside meet. He is campaigned by owners Fraser Turnbull of Dominion, N.S. and John Turnbull Jr. of Glace Bay, N.S.

Northside's 2015 leading driver John Gerard Kennedy and top trainer Heather Hawkins teamed up for a pair of victories on the 12-race program with Private Practice and the meet's final winner, Rustlemewithenvy. Kennedy scored another closing day victory with Camco Qready, the first of two winners on the card for Edgar Jacobs, who finished second in the training standings.

The Hawkins stable went a perfect two-for-two on the day to wrap up the meet with 25 wins -- nine more than Jacobs. Kennedy's triple put his win count at 31 while Colin Kelly finished second in the driving standings, with his two Saturday winners pushing his total to 26.
