Driver James MacDonald swept Monday evening’s second leg of the Pop Up Series for trotters at Woodbine Mohawk Park thanks to sharp efforts from Never Mind N and Cascada.

Never Mind N, who was a 1:55.1 winner in his first leg assignment, powered to the lead in Monday’s follow-up assignment and he never looked back.

Sent off at odds of 1-5, the Carmen Auciello trainee swept to the top from Post 5 and threw down fractions of :27.4, :57.2 and 1:26.2 before kicking home in :28.3 to win by a length over Look At Dat Kat in 1:55.  Rallying to a third-place finish was Southwind Caeser.     

M T Stables Ontario Inc of Scarborough, Ont. owns the nine-year-old son of Muscle Mass-Ashlynn CR.  The triumph helped him improve his seasonal record to 5-0-4 from 29 trips to the track.  The 17-time winner now boasts a bankroll that is just shy of $170,000.

MacDonald won earlier on the card in the first division with Cascada, who was a gate-to-wire victor in 1:56.4.

The seven-year-old son of Muscle Mass-So Wonderful marched to the top from Post 5 and then sliced out splits of :28.4, :58 and 1:27.  He kicked home in :29.4 to win by 1-1/4 lengths over race favourite Aworldly Goodtimes in 1:56.4.  Taking home the show dough was Kiss An Angel.       

Tommy Riley trains the gelding for Triple S Equine of Newton, Ont.  The victory improved his 2022 record to 3-3-3 from 23 trips to the track.  The 11-time winner has banked in excess of $110,000 to date.

The $30,000 Pop Up Series Final is slated for Monday, Dec. 5 at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
