The O'Brien Award-winning duo of driver Sylvain Filion and trainer Richard Moreau teamed up for a fantastic Friday night at Woodbine Racetrack, combining for multiple wins on the 10-race program.

Moreau completed a training triple with pacing mare I C Anastro ($5.10), a newcomer to Woodbine this month and a first-time stable starter for Moreau off the claim; the streaking trotting mare Missys Ga Ga ($3.90); and trotting gelding Big Rich ($5.60), who won his return race off a three-week layoff. All three were reined by Sylvain Filion, who ended the night with a total of five driving wins.

Filion also earned victories aboard Boat House Row ($7.40) for trainer Rene Laarman and Pop Goes Theweasel ($3.10) for the Rene Bourassa stable.

Moreau currently tops the training standings at Woodbine with 33 wins this year over Carmen Auciello, who added one victory on Friday to his total, now at 24. Meanwhile, Filion boosted his Woodbine win count to 48 to lock in a tie for second-place in the driver standings with Jody Jamieson. Trevor Henry holds a one-win advantage in first-place.
