car and after a :28 first quarter, followed cover on the outside behind

flow through the :58.2 half. At the 1:27.3 third quarter, Henry pulled
Sports Fan three-wide, meeting the leading Premier Nacho (Jason Ryan)
eye-to-eye in the turn for home. Henry and Sports Fan continued surging
forward on to a 2-1/4-length victory in 1:57.4. Premier Nacho finished
second and Counter Offer (Michael Whelan) finished third.

DWs Point Man Breaks Track Record
September 4, 2022 - DWs Point Man stole the show as the province's top
trotting freshmen clashed in four $100,000-plus Ontario Sires Stakes (OSS)
Gold divisions on what became opening night at Flamboro Downs on Sunday
(Sept. 4).
The nine-race card featured two OSS divisions for colts
and geldings and two divisions for fillies. Driver Louis-Philippe Roy
swept the male half of the OSS quartet.
Race 5 opened the OSS
action and DWs Point Man established a lifetime mark and a track, OSS and
Canadian record of 1:57 to extend his winning streak to four races. The
time beats the previous record for two-year-old trotting geldings of
1:57.1 set by Twin B Archie last year.
Under Roy’s handling, DWs
Point Man took advantage of inside position by going to the front from
post 2, cutting the first quarter in :28.3 and establishing a lead he
wouldn’t relinquish.

Linedrive Hanover Wins Juravinski Cup
May 22, 2022: The inaugural edition of the $273,500 Charles Juravinski Memorial Cup was a race for the history books as Linedrive Hanover blazed around Flamboro Downs' half-mile oval to set a new all-age track and Canadian record on May 22, 2022.
Formerly known as the confederation cup, Flamboro
Downs' signature race for four-year-old pacers was renamed in 2022 in
honour of Charles Juravinski, the track's co-founder and Canadian Horse
Racing Hall of Famer who passed away in February 2022.
Linedrive Hanover blazed
home a winner in a career-best clocking of 1:49 flat to become Canada's
fastest pacer on a half-mile track. The time of the mile knocked one-fifth
of a second off the Canadian record on a half-mile track set by This Is
This Plan at Hippodrome 3R in 2019. It also bested Somebeachsomewhere's
1:49.2 all-age track record that the Hall of Famer set as a three-year-old in
2008.
