Filion Has Double Shot At Series Sweep
Driver Sylvain Filion doubled up in the second leg of the Ontario Graduate Series for trotters, winning with a pair of repeat offenders Halloween night at Georgian Downs.
First leg winners Hallucination ($3.20) and Tymal Oh So Nice ($2.60) returned to the victory lane on Wednesday, giving Filion a chance to sweep the colt trot division of the series.
The Richard Moreau-trained Hallucination romped to a three and a half length victory in 1:59.2 over a sloppy track while Tymal Oh So Nice fought off Six Bax for a quarter-length score in 2:01 for his new trainer Rob Fellows.
Ivana Hanover ($5.50) matched Hallucination's winning time while setting herself up for a possible sweep of the filly trot division for driver Aaron Byron and trainer Jeff Byron.
The other second leg winners were colt Count Speed ($8) and Billy Davis Jr. in 2:00.2 for trainer Mark Steacy; and fillies Northern Kendra ($16.30) in 2:01.1 with Roger Mayotte in the sulky for conditioner James 'Friday' Dean; and Movement ($8) in 2:00.3 for Steve and David Byron.
The Ontario Graduate Series is for three-year-olds that are Ontario sired and non-winners of $50,000 in 2012 as of October 1, 2012.
