After trying a tougher class in last start, Mr Genesis returned to Georgian Downs for his first outing of 2012 and continued his winning ways since joining the stable of trainer Colin Johnson.

With Scott Zeron at the lines, Mr Genesis played a gritty game of catch-me-if-you-can on a chilly Tuesday night. With -16C temperatures greeting (?) the eight trotters and the track listed as one second off, Zeron zipped Mr Genesis through fractions of :28.1, 58.3 and 1:27 before confidently holding off favoured Windsong Hercules (Rick Zeron) by a length and a half in 1:56.3. Pocket sitter Green Day (Steve Byron) was a length back of the runner-up in third.

Since moving to the Johnson barn, Mr Genesis (Mr Lavec - Kiss Me You Fool) is batting .500 with eight wins in 16 outings for owner Claude Baril of Mascouche, QC.
