Another Five Wins For Henry
Canada's 2013 leading driver Trevor Henry enjoyed his second five-win performance of the weekend on Sunday evening at Flamboro Downs.
The Arthur, Ont. reinsman, who earned five victories on Western Fair Raceway's Friday card of harness racing, carried his winning momentum into Flamboro's 12-race card.
His final win of the night came in the 11th race feature aboard Mach Of Ballykeel ($4.50). The five-year-old Mach Three gelding, who is a full brother to 2013 Metro Pace winner Boomboom Ballykeel, fought off Justalittleluck and Web Cam in a three-way battle into the stretch to win the $6,500 Preferred 3 Pace in 1:59.2 over the 'good' track for O'Brien Award nominee Richard Moreau, Ballykeel Racing and Mach Of Ballykeel Stable.
Henry's first win of the night was with another Moreau trainee, sophomore pacer Adversary Seelster ($2.90), in the fourth race. He returned to the winner's circle after eight-year-old pacer Buckbuckbuck Mach ($5.60) scored his third in a row in the following dash for conditioner Stephane Larocque. Henry also won the seventh race with pacing sophomore Easton Bound ($4.90) for Joe Agostino before going back-to-back with freshman pacer Rebel Teen ($5.80) for Leonard Lalonde Jr. and the aforementioned Mach Of Ballykeel.
Henry's 2013 win total climbed to 523 -- 96 more than his nearest rival in the national standings, Flamboro leader Billy Davis Jr.
