Jaipur used a pocket trip to his full advantage on Friday night at Vernon Downs in winning the $9,000 Open Trot in 1:55.

Sent off at 10-1, Jaipur (Conway Hall-Artemisia Ambrosio) followed the favourite House Money for three-quarters of the mile before pulling pocket and notching his third win of the year with Fern Paquet Jr. in the sulky. Alexandra Berube trains for owner Jerry Clark.

Paquet Jr., Aaron Byron and Joe Nassimos registered driving doubles on the evening.
