Driver Guy Gagnon celebrated his 3,000th win this afternoon at Hippodrome Gatineau amongst four victories on the card.
Needing only two wins to reach the milestone, Gagnon got down to business sweeping the early daily double. The Gatineau, Quebec resident pulled off a 17-1 upset aboard Elite Din Pach (2:02) in the first race and then triumphed with his trainee Uptown Casino (2:00.1) in wire-to-wire fashion, notching his 3,000th victory.
Gagnon went on to score with Cape Cove Gem (2:00.2) and Katies Hottie (2:01.1) later in the afternoon.
The 39-year-old horseman has made close to $13 million in purse earnings while driving. In 2008, he has earned $1,133,359 with 237 wins.
