Shes Nun Bettor N kicked off a three-win night for the Richard Moreau stable at Woodbine Mohawk Park with a front-stepping score in Friday's feature, a high-end fillies and mares conditioned pace.
Leaving from post seven, driver Doug McNair pointed Shes Nun Bettor N to the top while 2-1 favourite Kickupyaheels N (Louis-Philippe Roy) fired just to her inside and settled for a pocket ride before jumping it off heading into the stretch. Shes Nun Bettor N, who had set fraction of :27.1, :56.2 and 1:24.1, rebuffed the first-over attack from Born A Dragon (Travis Cullen) and prevailed in 1:52.4 by three-quarter of a length as she held off Awesome Hill (Sylvain Filion), who ran out of real estate when rallying from the back. Mystic Virgin (Jonathan Drury) edged out Born A Dragon in a photo for show.
Shes Nun Bettor N, who missed by a head in her last start, paid $9.90 to win as the 7-2 third choice. The victory was her second in seven seasonal starts for owner Brad Grant.
The six-year-old daughter of Bettors Delight now boasts a dozen wins on her lifetime record with earnings just shy of the $200,000 mark.
Moreau's other Friday night winners were pacing gelding Quan Blue Chip ($11.60), driven by James MacDonald and claimed for $27,000, and pacing mare Easyrunner Hanover ($44.80), who was making her second start for the nine-time Trainer of the Year with McNair in the sulky.
With 58 wins so far this year, Moreau sits second in Canada, just two behind Carmen Auciello.
In other Friday night racing action, driver Phil Hudon reached a money milestone on a winning note. His victory aboard Chiefs Dream Girl ($4) in the $13,000 fifth race sent his lifetime earnings over the $60 million mark.
The even-money favourite swept from fourth to first after the opening quarter and took off to win the fillies and mares conditioned pace in 1:53.4 with Patricia Mae (McNair) chasing 3-1/4 length back in second and Goodnight Irene (J Harris) finishing nine lengths behind in third.
Hudon drove the four-year-old Sunshine Beach mare to her sixth career win for trainer Jack Moiseyev and owners High Stakes Inc., and Lsc Stables. The Burlington, Ont. reinsman has won 4,659 races lifetime.
