Cullen earned his first win of the day driving two-year-old filly Memories Of Kristi ($6.10) in the second race for trainer Rod Starkewski.

Four-year-old mare Mach Away ($2.70) later romped to a 10-3/4 length victory in the fifth race for Cullen and eight-year-old gelding Yankee Luke ($4.70) took the seventh race. Justapassin Fanci ($7.90) closed out the card for Cullen with the fastest mile of the day in 1:53.4.

Cullen tops the Alberta Downs charts with 82 driving wins and 67 training wins this season. The 2013 Future Star O'Brien Award winner also boasts the top win percentage in the nation this year as both a trainer and driver.

Meanwhile, Cory Clark celebrated the first training double of his career with three-year-old filly Happy Promise ($28.40) and four-year-old mare Polka Dot ($14.50) earning their first career wins in rein to Gary Clark.
