The Hippodrome 3R’s newest track record holder, Only For Justice, will be back at the track on Friday evening (July 26) for the second round of the Breeders Cup Series for three-year-old trotters.

It was just two weeks ago that Only For Justice became the fastest three-year-old trotter in the history of H3R with an amazing 1:57.4 triumph during the opening round of the series.

His time was also the fifth fastest trotting mile ever recorded at Hippodrome 3R. At age two, Only For Justice was the Future Stars Series champion at H3R. He now has $182,000 in career earnings and great potential for this race season.

What did Only For Justice do with his week off from the Breeders Cup Series? Well, he went to Rideau Carleton Raceway and won a $71,467 Ontario Sires Stakes Gold division in 1:56, which was a new lifetime mark for the gelded son of Justice Hall.

Only For Justice has notched three wins from six starts for trainer Dany Fontaine and the Gaetan Bono, Inc. Stable of Montreal, which bred and owns the trotter. The gelding is also on a two-race winning streak.

Stephane Brosseau will be aboard Only For Justice from Post 3 on Friday in Race 8, which will be a $10,000 division for the colts. He is part of any entry for Fontaine and Gaetan Bono, Inc., whom will also have Clevisse starting alongside Only For Justice in Post 2. Clevisse is winless after 12 starts this year.

The race will also contain another entry, which has been assessed as the second choice on the morning line. The entry will be comprised of Triomphe Duharas (Post 1) and Cesar Duharas (Post 8), whom finished third and second, respectively, against Only For Justice two weeks ago.

The fillies will be in the limelight in Race 4, which will carry a purse of $10,000. The race will feature the Serge Nadeau-trained entry of My Claudi P V (Post 1) and My Lady Hall (Post 2).

Claudi P V, by Holiday Road, is the better of the two fillies. In her last start, Claudi P V was able to grind it out first-over again Choo Choo Blue and win by a length in 2:02.1. She will be driven by Pascal Berube.

Both fillies were bred by Marcel Brouillard of St-Marcel-De-Richelieu and are co-owned with Serge Nadeau of Scott. My Lady Hall, by Angus Hall, is winless in five starts. She will be driven by Nadeau.

Rival Choo Choo Blue (Post 6) raced last week and was able to wire the field in 2:03.1 for her second victory of the year. Kinderunbelievable (Post 5) is another contender in the field.

The three-year-old pacers will see action in their second round of Breeders Cup competition on Sunday with four $7,500 divisions for fillies and colts.
