Canada's leading trainer Jodie Cullen added to her win count with all three of her Sunday night starters at Flamboro Downs finishing first.

Cullen kicked off the nine-race card with three-year-old pacing colt Outrun The Odds ($11.50) living up to his name, defeating the favourite Rebull in a new lifetime mark of 1:59.1 with Allan Molloy working out the winning trip from off-the-pace. The All Bets Off colt is now six-for-nine in his debut season for owner Robert Jones of Stony Plain, Alta.

A pair of popular Cullen trainees, Twin Be Betonit ($5.30) and Pipewrench Charlie ($3.30), won back-to-back later in the seventh and eighth races. 

Molloy drove the lightly raced Bettors Delight colt Twin B Betonit to a 2:01 triumph in his sophomore season's debut in Ontario, taking a new mark and improving to three-for-five lifetime for owners Wayne MacRae, Fall River of N.S., and Daniel Ross of Vernon Bridge, P.E.I. 

Paul MacKenzie then guided the Cullen clan's Pipewrench Charlie to a 1:55 score in the featured $11,000 conditioned optional claiming pace for the Trust The Artist gelding's second win in a row at Flamboro. The 26-time career winner is owned by Cullen's husband and son, Ron and Travis Cullen.

The Dundas, Ont. trainer concluded the evening with 93 wins and topped the $1.2 million mark in earnings for the year. A career winner of 1,815 races, she has recorded more than 200 wins per season the last three years and led the national trainer standings in back-to-back seasons in 2024 and 2025. An O'Brien Award finalist for Trainer of the Year in 2025, Cullen set a personal best for earnings with her stable amassing $3 million in purses last year.
