Claiming trotter Warrawee Proton has been unstoppable in recent weeks, and it was more of the same during Monday evening’s card of racing at Woodbine Racetrack.
The five-year-old son of Muscle Mass-Yankee Sally was five lengths away from the leader heading into the final quarter of his claiming assignment, but a :28.1 closing panel was more than enough for the gelding to extend his winning streak to five.
Sylvain Filion got away in mid-pack with the Richard Moreau-trained Warrawee Proton, but the trotter was on the move on the way to the half. He was third on the outside as the field zipped by the three-quarter pole, and he turned on the jets late and won in going away fashion over Demand An Answer in 1:56.1. Third prize went to Girl Drama.
Sent off as the 1-2 favourite, Warrawee Proton is now 14-for-30 this season and 23-for-67 over the course of his career. Claimed from the winning effort, he clicked for the partnership of Ecurie Richard Moreau Inc, Fred Handelaar and Don Beanland.
