Trotters in Future Stars Series at H3R

Trois-Rivieres, QC – The young harness racing trotters own the spotlight at the Hippodrome 3R Friday afternoon with the second round of the Future Stars Series for two-year-olds.

The colts are in the limelight in the very first race with a purse of $10,000. There are eight starters headlined by opening round division winner Hall Win.

Starting from post five, Hall Win comes into the race off an easy 2:05.2 maiden victory in the first round of the series for trainer/driver Kevin Maguire. The Maguire Stable of Sainte-Marie owns and bred the son of Angus Hall from the fast-class trotting mare, Beer Maggs. She won $117,000 racing with a record of 1:57.3. Hall Win is her first foal.

Another return winner in the field is Kinnder Dangerzone from the red-hot Denitza Petrova Stable. This son of Northern Escort from Petrova's top 100% producing mare, Joy Majestic, is a full brother to the top trotter Kinnder Dangerous 1:58.1 and half brother to Kinnderunbelivable 1:59.3 and Kinnder High Class 2:00.1.

He scored his maiden victory in his last start in the Quebec Regional Fair Circuit, wiring the field in 2:05 at H3R. He will start from post three for driver Pierre Luc Roy. Other contenders include Incredible Hall (post 6) and the Melanie Boulianne entry of Eyes Of Justice (post 4) and Piranha First (post 8).

The fillies do battle in their $10,000 second round in a non-wagering race that will be held between the 1st and 2nd races on Friday.

Opening round victor, Mag N Lady, leads the four-horse field for owner, trainer and driver Jean Francois Maguire, who co-owns the daughter of Royalty For Life with Julie Malenfant and Richard Legris. She starts from post two.

Last time out Mag N Lady was able to wire the field in a speedy 2:02, winning in a romp by eight and one-half lengths. She has been first, second or third in her first four lifetime starts. Other contenders include X O X O (post 4) and New Road (post 3).
