. It also offered 13 trips to the winner's circle, eight of which included George Brennan.

The Raceway's leading driver began his night with a third-place finish in the opener. After having the second race off, he and favoured Shaky Hanover ($4.80) made short work of the eight-hole in the $12,000, third-race pace. The pair negotiated the mile-and-one-sixteenth in 2:02.4.

The $17,000, fourth-race trot found Brennan going the distance with Eggipus Complex ($7.60) in an added-distance 2:05. He then ripped out of the pocket in the $14,000, fifth-race pace, widening out with 1-2 choice La Diavla ($3.10) in an added-distance 2:02.

Brennan sat out the sixth event before consecutively doubling up. First, it was the $17,000, seventh-race pace with Carnivalocity ($14.40) in an added-distance 2:02.1. Next, it was up and over with Fountainbleau Volo ($4) in the $22,000, eighth-race trot (added-distance 2:03.2).

Brennan ended up fourth in the ninth race before running up the score with odds-on Irish Elitist ($3.50) in the $20,000, 10th-race pace. The pair needed a flat two minutes for the added assignment. Next up was the $23,000, eighth-race pace, won by -guess who? - and a lasting-on-the-lead Justin Art ($3.20) in an added-distance 2:01.1.

Tiring from first-up in the twelfth race, Brennan then closed it out with So Feminine ($6.50) in the $22,000 pacing finale, two-moving to victory in 2:01.3 for the distance du jour.
