Toronto, April 17, 2005…With six wins on the Saturday evening card of racing from Woodbine, Oakville, Ontario’s Rick Zeron put on an absolute clinic in the racebike, as he won more than half of his drives on the night.

His first win came in the second race on the card, the C$40,000 Preferred pace, when he brought Street Sign ($3.40) home from off the pace.

Zeron hit the wire first in the third race as well when his star trotting pupil, Super Spicy ($4.10), recorded his 24th career tally in a C$23,000 conditioned trot.
