Moreau Holds Narrow Lead At WEG
With just six race days remaining until the New Year, trainer Richard Moreau continues to lead all trainers on the Woodbine Entertainment (WEG) circuit with 96 victories from 522 starters
.
Moreau leads only by one win over fellow Quebec native Ben Baillargeon, who finished second in last year’s standings after celebrating a career year with earnings of $2,164,863.
A native of Lachenaie, Que., Moreau has accumulated over $1.2 million in earnings this season on the WEG circuit, putting him over $25.4 million lifetime.
Moreau, known as a claiming conditioner, has been very consistent over the past decade posting earnings over $1 million in each season.
“I have a very quick turn-around rate in my stable,” Moreau commented. “Often times there will be at least 10 new horses coming and going every month and that’s one of the reasons why I have been successful.”
Among his top performers this year were Logans Hero, Veal Marsala and Slightly Tipsy.
“I class my horses where I think they can compete. I don’t expect to win every race but when I go to the track it’s a good feeling when you have a good chance to win.”
On the WEG circuit last year, Moreau’s stable sent out 375 starters, tallied 64 wins and earned $1,010,229.
