Woodbine Mohawk Park: Canadian trotting record matched by Fashion Frenzie

Fashion Frenzie became the co-fastest trotter in Canadian harness racing history on Monday night at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Shooting up the inside to win the $36,000 Preferred trot, Fashion Frenzie stopped the clock in 1:50 2/5 to match the all-age Mohawk and Canadian record for driver Louis-Philippe Roy and trainer Eric Nadeau.

It was the second time in three nights that the all-age record was matched, as Emoticon Legacy also trotted 1:50 2/5 in Saturday's Goodtimes Stakes final for 3-year-olds.

Osceola cut the mile on Monday, posting fractions of 26 4/5, 55 3/5 and 1:23 2/5. Fashion Frenzie enjoyed a two-hole trip, while 3-5 favorite Gaines Hanover sat fourth throughout.

In the stretch, the rail would open up and Fashion Frenzie powered through late to win by three-quarters of a length over Osceola. Gaines Hanover got up for third, beaten just over a length. Sid The Kid was fourth.

A 7-year-old son of Archangel, Fashion Frenzie picked up his first win since March 17 and his third win in seven starts this season. The latest victory gave him 30 career scores and lowered his career mark by two-fifths of a second.

A career winner of over C$1.3 million, Fashion Frenzie is owned by Ecurie Francis Richard Inc., Gestion Mario Bourgea Inc., Pierre Guillemette and Sylvain Richard. A $2 win ticket on Fashion Frenzie returned $25.70.

Fashion Frenzie joins Emoticon Legacy, Gaines Hanover, Alrajah One and Atlanta as the co-fastest trotters in Canadian racing.

Live racing resumes Thursday evening at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Post time is 6:35 p.m.
