The winning streak is now two-in-a-row and counting for Allies Gift, who was a front-stepping winner in Thursday’s $8,500 Preferred 3 for trotters at Flamboro Downs.
Robert Shepherd hustled Allies Gift to the top from Post 4 and cruised through panels of :29, 1:00.2 and 1:29.3 before using a :29.3 closing panel to win by 2-1/4 lengths over race favourite Honor Above All in 1:59.1. Tagging along to finish third was Pollar Hall.
Michel Gaboury of Venise-En-Quebec owns the six-year-old daughter of Holiday Road-Minor Skirmish who now boasts a 2-2-1 record from seven trips to the track this season. The 18-time winner, who hangs her harness bag in the barn of Jean Francois Maguire, has banked over $145,000 to date.
