During his first-ever program of pari-mutuel driving, 18-year-old pilot Warren MacKinnon of Sydney, Nova Scotia recorded the first driving victory of his young career Monday, October 10 at Northside Downs
.
MacKinnon had finished off the board in his first two drives on the card, but he didn't mess around with Giselles Big B in Race 9.
Sent off as the even-money post-time choice, MacKinnon and the eight-year-old Park Lane gelding fired out from the rail and threw up fractions of :29.3, 1:00.3 and 1:30.2 on the engine.
MacKinnon and 'Giselle,' who is conditioned by Peter MacKinnon, came home with a :30.2 final panel to record the 2:00.4 win by one and a quarter lengths.
