| Dreamanotherdream wins Friday's Open Trot |
The
steady-striding trotter Dreamanotherdream became a reality after a front-ending
1:54.3 victory in Friday night's $10,000 featured Open-1 contest at Vernon
Downs.
John
MacDonald was at the controls for trainer Edgar Clark in Friday's 10th
event as Dreamanotherdream led at every station and had enough left at the
finish to defeat the pocket-sitting Client Nine by three-quarters of a length,
and earn a fresh win mark. The
bold-going journey resulted in the third season's score (second at the Downs)
and 24th lifetime victory for the gritty 7-year-old gelding that
hasn't finished worse than second in his last three outings. Dennis Goyette owns the career winner of more
than $130,000.
Clark
was credited with a conditioning double after his charge, Style Advisor, paced
to her maiden victory (1:56.2) in Friday's 12th event.
Roman
Lopez logged three driving victories and a pair of training credits during
Vernon's 38th program and moved into sole possession of second place
on the meet's conditioning chart with 24 victories. Driving doubles were recorded during the
12-race card by Rick Plano (his meet-leading 13th), Jimmy Whittemore
and Brian Connor.
Lopez
leads in driving triples at the meet with eight.
