Trainer Rob Fellows, a longtime veteran on the WEG circuit, celebrated a major milestone on Thursday evening when he notched his 1,000th training victory at Woodbine Racetrack.

Markella, owned by Charalambos Christoforou, earned Fellows the milestone in what was her debut for the new outfit. The four-year-old daughter of Art Major-Oro held off Ground Shaker to win comfortably in 1:56.3 with Chris Christoforou in the sulky.

Fellows has fashioned a record of 7-8-4 in 36 outings so far this season, with over $100,000 in purse earnings. His trainees have also banked more than $14 million in career earnings.

Fellows, unfortunately, was not in attendance for the milestone due to the fact he was at home recovering from laser eye surgery.
