Fifth straight win, fourth straight claim

Royal Regatta (Mcardle) made it five consecutive harness racing victories at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Thursday (Mar. 21) and will change hands for the fourth straight week after being claimed again.

The gelding gained front-end control past the quarter for Louis-Philippe Roy and battled with the first-over My Land (Austin Sorrie) from the five-eighths and around the final turn. Royal Regatta held the challenger at bay down the stretch and held on by a nose over Mach Jacobs (Tyler Borth) to win in 1:54. My Land retained third.
