The Allards' first win came with Arch Villain ($3.60), who doubled up in the April Showers Series and defeated his stablemate, fellow first leg winner Perfekjenlmnkalfas, by three lengths in 1:53.4. The duo won the next series split with Upfrontoutthedoor ($2.80) in a lifetime-best 1:55 by one and a half lengths and the following division with the double-gaited Morven ($5) in a new mark of 1:55.1 by two and a quarter lengths.

In other action, a pair of new trainers celebrated their first career wins.

Rachel Archer earned her first training win with Hyperion Blue Chip. Driven by Guy Gagnon, the four-year-old son of American Ideal held off Smiley Bayama and Yves Filion by a neck to upset the $5,400 eighth race for $8,500 claimers in 1:58. Hyperion Blue Chip paid $36.70 to win for the fifth time in 36 career starts. For Archer, the win was her first in just seven starts.

Twenty-five-year-old Pierre Marc Longpre, a resident of Legardeur, Que., also earned his first training win on the card with five-year-old Art Major gelding Lulus Boy, who he claimed for $20,000 on March 9 at Woodbine Racetrack. The win came in Longpre's 20th career start.
