Camara Moment cruises to Snowshoe double

Camara Moment (Control The Moment) scored a repeat harness racing victory in the second leg of the Snowshoe Series in -20°C weather on Friday (Feb. 3) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

The gelding, driven by Doug McNair, made two moves to control the race – an early push to make the top early and a give-and-go to take back over from Emmetts Buddy (Louis-Philippe Roy). Camara Moment expanded his cushion on the last turn and entered the stretch with a big lead, which he converted to a two-and-three-quarter-length victory in 1:53. Ontop Rainman (Mike Whelan) soared late for place. Emmetts Buddy re-rallied for third after treading water in mid-stretch.
