Ten for Meadowbranch Noble

Meadowbranch Noble (Explosive Matter) reached 10 victories on the harness racing season in the conditioned feature at Rideau Carleton Raceway on Thursday (Oct. 17).

The gelding, a Preferred contender for much of this year, advanced on the outside through the :27.1 first quarter to take the lead for Guy Gagnon. He was unchallenged by four opponents as he cut panels of :57.2 and 1:26.4, and he glided away from them down the stretch to score by two-and-three-quarter lengths in 1:56. Emma Town Bud (Pierre Bovay) finished second from the pocket with Eyes of Justice (Guy Gagnon) completing the ticket.
