Flamboro Downs' leading conditioner Victor Puddy teamed up with the nation's top reinsman to send multiple trainees to the winner's circle on Saturday afternoon at the Dundas, Ont. half-mile oval.
Puddy bookended the 12-race card with victories with four-year-old pacing mare Tweeny Bayama ($4.50) and four-year-old pacing gelding American Captain ($11.70). He also won the 10th with five-year-old trotting gelding Thehouseisrockin ($19.80). Both Tweeny Bayama and Thehouseisrockin won by just a neck and a nose, respectively.
Billy Davis Jr. worked out the winning trips for all three Puddy trainees and added another victory to his own season leading record with the maiden-breaking sophomore pacing filly Ipinkiloveyou ($3.90), trained by Blake MacIntosh. Davis Jr. now boasts 118 victories to top the 2013 Canadian leaderboard.
Veteran trotter Tagmaster also continued to rack up the wins on Saturday, scoring his ninth consecutive victory in the second race. J.R. Plante sent the nine-year-old wire-to-wire to win by over three lengths in 1:57.2. Patrick Shepherd, Canada's leading percentage conditioner this year with a 0.480 URS, has trained the Tagliabue gelding for his last two after being claimed on March 16 for $12,000 by Jonah Moase of Cornwall, P.E.
