On Saturday afternoon (July 20) at the St Joseph De Lepage racetrack in Quebec, two track records were rewritten in the Quebec Regional Fair races.
The all-age pacing record was lowered to 1:55.4 by Ninoscredit, who had driver Samuel Fillion aboard. The prior record of 1:56.1 was set 21 years ago (7-26-98) by Golden Seat. Ninoscredit reset the record in the first of a two-heat race and he won the second heat in 1:58.2.
Then, the track’s one and a half-mile record for pacers was lowered by Mister Big Top, who won in 3:00 for driver Michel Audet. The previous record of 3:01 was set by Our Star on 7-29-14.
Of the ten races on the program, six were sub-two minute miles.
