10th of season for Royal Regatta

Royal Regatta (Mcardle) reached double digit wins this season in an open-length harness racing victory in the Pop-up Series at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Tuesday (Jun. 11).

James MacDonald ordered the gelding to the front from third in the second quarter, and Royal Regatta created slight separation at the top of the stretch. He was hounded by Make It Come True (Louis-Philippe Roy) down the lane but cruised through the final 1/16th of a mile and stopped the clock in 1:53.3 with a two-and-a-quarter-length margin. Make It Come True was second over Malvolio (Jody Jamieson).

Racing is scheduled to continue at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Thursday, Jun. 13 at 7:10 p.m. EDT.
