The fifth leg of the 6K Series highlighted Rideau Carleton's Friday night card and a pair of Paul Loranger, Jr. pupils swept the $4,800 trotting divisions.

Sonic Yankee opened the card with a win in the first division of the 6K Trotting Series for Loranger.

In rein to Gilles Gendron, the nine-year-old gelded son of Donerail got away fifth from Post 2 as Rudy Valley (Sandy Jones) set the pace with a opening panel of :29.3. Make Mine Chocolat (John MacDonald) made a first-over attempt from third with Sonic Yankee catching his cover through the following panels of 1:01.1 and 1:30.4.

As the field turned for home, Sonic Yankee swung three-wide and with a late stretch burst of speed, the 8-5 post time favourite prevailed in 2:02.

Rudy Valley finished a quarter-length back in second and Make Mine Chocolat nabbed the show spot.

Sonic Yankee has recorded 18 career wins and over $180,000 in earnings.

In the second trotting division, Loranger's Pacopaco and driver Anne Marie Turenne pulled off a 14-1 upset.

Jn Kingkurt (Sandy Jones) fronted the field through fractions of :29.2 and 59.2 with Dunmore Tcb (Ted McDonald) applying pressure on the outside.

Meanwhile, Pacopaco tipped out from fourth and made a three-wide move around Dunmore Tcb en route to the third quarter pole in 1:30. After pulling away by three lengths, the six-year-old Yankee Paco gelding hung for the win by three-quarters of a length in 2:00.3 as Berto Coquette (John MacDonald) closed well for second. King Clifford (Jason Gilchrist) was third.

The winner of 12 races has earned almost $110,000 in his career.

In the lone division of the 6K Pacing Series for fillies and mares, Jeri West and driver Gord Brown prevailed by head in 1:59 after rallying from last place in a compact field of 10.

Hollypophaley (Rod Zeron) was the early leader, but Southwind Miata (Sandy Jones) reached the first quarter pole in :27.3 on the outside. After making a three-wide move, Landfairmaggiejane (John MacDonald) took her turn on the front through a :57.1 half, before Daisy Gamble (Sean Sullivan) advanced on the outside.

Meanwhile, Jeri West was sitting last as the field passed three-quarters in 1:27.3. The post time favourite used a final quarter clocked in :30 to propel herself to a narrow victory over runner-up Amazing Maxine (Jacques Beaudoin). Southwind Miata was third.

Mark Winacott owns and trains the eight-year-old mare by Run The Table, who has finished no worse than third in the series. Her 30th career victory lifted her bankroll to over $155,000.
