Three-year-old trotter Kinnder Motown will seek a sweep in the third preliminary round of the Breeders Trophy Series at Hippodrome 3R on Friday, Aug. 18.

So far, Kinnder Motown has been a perfect two-for-two in the series for trainer Isabelle Darveau, driver Robert Shepherd and owner Rejean Lemieux of Quebec City.

The series is for three-year-old trotting colts & geldings and fillies. After Friday’s third round of preliminary action, the top eight point-earners will return on Sunday, Sept. 10 for their respective $65,000 finals.

On Friday, Kinnder Motown heads the ninth race, $10,000 division for the colts & geldings. The son of Muscle Mass will start from post six and has been red hot all season long with Shepherd in the sulky. Kinnder Motown sports five wins in eight starts this year in his debut season, the fastest a lifetime mark of 1:57.4 taken at Rideau Carleton Raceway.

It will not be a walk in the park for Kinnder Motown as he takes on Free Wheels (post eight), a winner of his last start by five lengths for breeder, owner, trainer and driver Herve Kirouac of Sherbrooke, Que., who just celebrated his birthday on Wednesday.

Wolinak (post nine) and BBC Sportsboy (post five) have also won divisions of the Breeders Trophy Series.

The three-year-old trotting fillies will battle in the fifth race for a purse of $10,000 and the rivalry will continue between two series leg winners, Kenogami Courage and Dont Treat Me Bad. Both fillies have already raced against each other in the series and each have come away with a victory.

Kenogami Courage is the race favourite starting from post three for driver Stephane Brosseau. Trained, bred and co-owned by Jack Reid,  the Lookslikeachpndale filly has two wins this season in 10 starts.

Dont Treat Me Bad will go from post seven for driver Jocelyn Gendron. It was just two starts back that the Resolve filly beat Kenogami Courage in the series with a 2:01.4 romp by eight lengths. She sports three wins on the year from six outings for Kirouac.

First race post time for the twilight race card on Friday is at 4 p.m. For a free race program, visit hippodrome3R.ca.
