Harness racing driver Tyler Borth added another five victories to his sizable totals on Friday (Apr. 21) at The Raceway at the Western Fair District.

The driver won half the card, beginning with Mystical Gal (Pang Shui) in the first. The mare led at every call and completed the victory in 1:56. Borth co-owns the four-year-old mare with Katie Macneil, who trains her, and Robert Sparling Jr.
