The team of trainer Benoit Lamarche and driver Scott Wray earned first star of the night honours as Hiawatha Horse Park kicked off its 2018 season of harness racing on Saturday (May 5).
The Sarnia, Ont. oval opened with an eight-pack of action and the Lamarche-Wray tandem connected for three wins on the evening. While held off the toteboard for the first half of the races, Wray and Lamarche dominated the latter part of the card winning Race 5 with Winning Matrimony (1:59.2, $9.50), Race 6 with Nower Power (2:00.1, $19.60) and closing the card with the triple courtesy of Nomatterwhen (1:58.4, $5.20).
With his win in the first race aboard East Bound Eddie, Wray ended his evening with a four-bagger in the racebike.
Hiawatha Horse Park will race Saturday nights from May through to September 22.
