It was a Thursday night to remember for driver Guy Gagnon and trainer Jamie Copley as they won five and three races, respectively, on the 10-race card.
Gagnon kicked off the card winning with a horse from his own barn, Miss Rockadali, in 1:58. Stablemate Strokin prevailed in Race 6 in a time of 1:55.4, and that was the first of four straight races won by the productive pilot.
Wage Writer (1:56.1) eked out a win in Race 7, Sweet Bet halted the teletimer in 1:55 in Race 8 and Gagnon capped off his night winning with P L Jasmine (1:56.4) in Race 9.
Gagnon is now just 31 wins away from 5,000 lifetime wins. The reinsman has racked up more than $23 million in purse earnings over the course of his career.
Copley celebrated his first of three wins on the card when Wildcat Cam (1:54.2) rolled to an easy score in Race 5.
Stablemate Wage Writer (1:56.1) held on for a half-length triumph in Race 7 and P L Jasmine (1:56.4) blew away the foes she faced thanks to her six-length romp in Race 9.
Copley has sent out 30 winners so far this season, with purse earnings in excess of $130,000 to go with it. To date, he’s sent out 1,091 winners while racking up more than $5.2 million in purse earnings.
