Richard Moreau trainee Lucas NL got to the front and held that position strongly to lead an exacta for the stable in the $10,000 featured trot at Flamboro Downs on Sunday night (Feb. 12).

Driver Brett MacDonald sent Lucas NL to the lead from post two while stablemate Sicario secured the pocket to a :28.1 first quarter. Odds-on favourite Buckys Angel began a first-over bid from fourth past a :59 half and loomed closer to the pacesetter nearing three-quarters in 1:29.1. Lucas NL continued with his momentum into the stretch and scooted to a two-length victory in 1:59.3 with Sicario snagging second from Buckys Angel.

Pieter Delis owns Lucas NL, a five-year-old gelding by Quite Easy. The gelding won his fifth race from 40 starts and has now earned $61,655. He paid $10.40 to win.

As the only harness track running in North America on Super Bowl Sunday, gamblers none the less paid plenty of patronage through the Flamboro windows. In 10 races, Flamboro handled $834,133.
