The resident of Parry Sound, Ont. was also victorious with the Mike Lamoureux-trained Ms Fun (1:59) in Race 9 and Righteous Raider (1:59.1), conditioned by James Stewart, in Race 11. Dowling has recorded 69 wins so far this year earning over $300,000 in purses. Over the course of his career, Dowling has driven 554 winners earning over $2.9 million.
