Monday afternoon saw the return of live racing in the province of New Brunswick.

Todd Trites notched three wins on opening day at Fredericton Raceway. With the wins, the popular driver stands just four wins shy of 2,000 career victories. Included in his wins was the Victoria Day Pace with the Eric Wilson trainee Joseph Michael in 2:01.

Joseph Michael paced his final half in a sizzling :58.3 for owners Andrea Dolan and Valerie Phelan. Trites’ other winners came with Wave That Banner and Dusty Lane Oscar.

Other winners on the card were American Terror (driven by Ed Harvey) in 2:04 for owner Kathy McLean and co-owner Harvey. A son of American Ideal, the four-year-old was very impressive in his first start on NB soil.

Rounding out the opening day winners were Victory George (Jeff Lewis), Pinch Of Paradise (Phil Reid) and Lucky In Love (Mike Downey).

Fredericton’s next live card will take place this Saturday (May 24). First-race post time scheduled for 2 p.m.
