The duo partnered for a grand slam with trotter Dolce Ducci ($8) in the first race, trotter Quater Bayama ($13.90) in the third, pacer St Lads Dude ($3.70) in the sixth and trotter Margarita Man ($10.70) in the ninth.

Picking up the catch-drive, Filion also won the second race with the Andrew McCabe-trained pacing mare St Lads Zena ($17.10) to kick off the 11-race card with three in a row.

Moreau currently leads on the Woodbine circuit with 44 wins -- almost double his nearest competitor. He also tops the leaderboard for both wins (85) and money ($812,701) in all of Canada this year.

Filion ranks third among Woodbine's top drivers with 50 of his 59 wins this season at the Toronto oval. With nearly $700,000 earned in purses this year, he is one of the top 10 money-earning drivers nation-wide.
