Two-Year-Old Trotting Colts & Geldings

Gaines Hanover and driver Louis-Philippe Roy took control of the pace at the quarter pole and then went on to a powerful track record-setting performance in capturing the first of two $33,750 eliminations for the Breeders Crown two-year-old colt and gelding trot division at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Friday night.

The altered son of Cantab Hall scored in a personal-best 1:53 clocking, which is a new track record for two-year-old trotting geldings.

Celebrity Bambino and driver Yannick Gingras overcame post nine and posted a minor upset defeating 2-5 favourite and Mohawk Million winner Oh Well in the second $33,750 Crown elimination winning in 1:53.2.

Two-Year-Old Trotting Fillies
