Hat Trick For McQueen At Western Fair
Cameron McQueen harnessed three winners for a training hat trick on the Wednesday evening, Jan. 22 card at The Raceway at Western Fair District.
Champagne Bettina rounded out the triactor of winners for McQueen with a win in the top class of the three, a claiming pace worth $7,700.
Daryl Thiessen angled the Archangel-Day Dream mare out of the gate from post five. The pair cleared the lead and never looked back with splits in :29.4, 1:03 and 1:32.3. Champagne Bettina took off once again in the final turn, opening up to win by 4-1/2 lengths at the finish in 2:04.2. Sant Ambroggio (Travis Henry) finished second and Final Dream (Garrett Rooney) collected the show.
John and Cameron McQueen co-own the five-year-old mare, who won for the second time in four starts in 2025 and picked up her 14th career victory. In 68 races, Champagne Bettina has banked $86,207. She returned $8.10 to win from 3-1 odds as the third choice.
Cameron McQueen and Austin Sorrie teamed up for a pair of wins earlier in the card as Trident Seelster ($3.60) won in 2:01.4 and Jays N Tigers ($3.00) won in 2:00.4, each in a $5,200 claiming pace class.
