One start, two big milestones for Sicario

Sicario (Holiday Road) made his 200th career appearance his 40th win on Saturday (Dec. 30) at Flamboro Downs in a wire-to-wire harness racing victory.

The gelding, one of trainer Richard Moreau’s three winners on the night, set a mild tempo for Travis Henry with fractions of :28.1, :58.3, and 1:28.1. Jack Fire (Ed Hensley) plugged along first-over but quit going to the far turn. Flaunt It To Winit (J. Bradley Harris) took his shot from the pocket but was a half-length short of Sicario, who completed the victory in 1:58. Flaunt It To Winit was a clear second with Petro Angel (Samuel Fillion) three more lengths back in third.
