BEE TWO BEE REPLAY

In other action, driver Gilles Barrieau has been one of the top percentage drivers in Canadian Harness Racing year-after-year and Sunday afternoon was another showing of his mathematical mastery.

The Dieppe, N.B., native had nothing but on the board finishes with three wins, two seconds, a third and fourth from seven drives on the day including a duo of trips to the winner’s circle with Ron Matheson trainees. Barrieau scored with Matheson trained The Sports Desk (1:57.2) in race 8 and Blood Money (1:56) in race 9 as well as Tradition (1:57.1) in race 7 for trainer Gordie Hennessey.
