Trainer Jodie Cullen sent out three winners on the Thursday, April 16 card at Flamboro Downs, notching a triple from four starts on the 10-race slate to move into the lead in the track's conditioners' standings.

Team Cullen — trainer Jodie and her son, driver Travis — swept the early double, starting with Catchmegracefully ($2.50) in the opener, a $6,300 pace for claiming distaffs. The five-year-old Chucaro Acero Bc-Odds On Carmen mare started third from post two before shooting to the top past the quarter, and she was never challenged on the way to a 1:55.3 victory by 2-1/4 lengths for owner Glenn White of Langley, B.C.

Houston Seelster ($7.20) doubled the Cullen tally in the second race, the $11,000 optional-claiming feature trot, with a gate-to-wire effort in 1:58. The four-year-old son of Lookslikeachpndale-Hollywood Beauty padded his cushion on the backstretch, then held on by a neck over the late-rushing Mercutio (Travis Henry). Travis Cullen co-owns the gelding with Blair Kidd of Miniota, Man. and John Collings of Brudenell, P.E.I.

Travis Cullen used speed tactics again in the fifth race, a $6,300 claiming trot, to get Yourtheone ($2.50) to victory lane, with the gelding fending off No Plan Intended (Paul MacKenzie) by a neck for the 1:55.4 score. The eight-year-old son of Shanghai Phil-Millbanks Ariel, trained by Jodie Cullen, is owned by A1stable of Dundas, Ont.

With the triple, Jodie Cullen became the first trainer in Canada to cross the 100-win threshold in 2026. She is 102-for-464 for a win rate of 22 per cent and now leads the standings at Flamboro, passing Gerard Demers with the Thursday-night performance.
