New millionaire San Pail added another $25,000 to his bankroll after winning the featured Open Trot Thursday night at Mohawk Racetrack
.
Randy Waples worked out the winning trip, which saw the Maple Leaf Trot champion leave from the outside Post 9 and clear the lead past the :27.3 opening quarter. The 8-5 second choice stroll leisurely to the half in :57, then bypassed three-quarters in 1:26.1. San Pail used a :27.1 final frame to seal the deal and stop the clock in 1:53.2, winning for the 21st time in his career.
Favourite Slave Dream (Sylvain Filion) journeyed first-over to finish a length and three-quarters behind in second while Define The World (Paul MacDonell) reached up to grab third.
Rod Hughes trains the winning five-year-old gelded son of San Pellegrino-Village Beauty for owner and breeder Glenn Van Camp of Port Perry, Ont. San Pail has prevailed in half of his 22 starts this season earning $705,250 in purses.
The win was one of three on the 11-race for Waples.
