Louis-Philippe Roy enjoyed his return to Hippodrome 3R so much last week, he has decided to go back and try again on Sunday (May 30).

“It will be hard to do better than last week,” said Roy in reference to his five-win performance. “We had a sunny day. It was great, I was happy about the weather forecast being wrong in predicting rain.”

LPR has a drive in all 10 races Sunday. First post time is 12:30 p.m.

“I hope we get a nice day again tomorrow,” Roy added with a bold statement. “I am sure every Habs fan in the paddock should be happy about tonight’s win and excited about Game 7!”

The three-time O’Brien award winner has two strong candidates in two of the three co-featured races.

In the fourth race Preferred-Handicap Trot, Roy is back aboard Eau Naturelle for owner-trainer Carl Duguay. Last week they wired the field from post six. This Sunday the eight-year-old mare by Windsong Espoir gets the far outside post eight to contend with.

Eau Naturelle is the lone mare in the race against seven males.

In the seventh race Preferred-Handicap Pace for the mares, LPR is back with another Carl Duguay return winner, YS Easy from post two.

Last week the Sportswriter mare waited until after the opening quarter mile, then jumped on the lead and never looked back, winning in a romp in 1:56.4. She'll face seven rivals, including Jans Legacy from post eight for driver Stephane Brosseau. She won last week at 3R in 1:57.3.

In the ninth race Preferred-Handicap 2-1 Pace, LPR will drive D J Power (post four) and they will have their work cut out for them going against return winners Veneno (post five), who won last week in 1:56.2 and Windsun Cheyenne (post seven) who scored a 1:57.3 win.

Mickeymaksomespeed (post eight) and Hooter Shooter (post six) cannot be discounted after finishing first or second in this class this season.
