A Friday Night Five-Bagger For McNair

Once Western Fair Raceway’s leading reinsman, Doug McNair, got started there was no stopping him as he added five more wins to his record during Friday night’s 12-race card

.

McNair, who is accustomed to five-win nights at the London half-miler, captured his first driving title at the track in 2009. Tonight, he was partnered with four new teammates to push his yearly win total to 151 and earnings to $821,304. The 20-year-old is en route to his third consecutive million-dollar season since beginning his driving career in 2008.

McNair scored a natural hat trick in races two through four with Classic Commotion (2:03.2) for trainer Terry Piroski, Bebes Boy (1:58.2) for Peter Brickman and a maiden-breaking Mcelodian (2:01) for his father, Gregg McNair – the only winner he has previously driven. The resident of St. Thomas, ON also went back-to-back in the 10th and 11th races with Windsun Rachel (1:59.4) for Mike Bishop and Brontewine (2:03.3) for Paul Henry.
