Dundee, ON — John Calabrese tripped out three high to the final turn with Two For Tripping and pulled away to a 1:57.3 victory in the $7,000 Billings Drivers Series event at Flamboro Downs on Sunday night (Oct. 22).

Two For Tripping landed in third from the pylon post as Nates Bucky (driven by Marc Pilon) powered for the front along with Sunseeker (Nello Guglielmi) from post 7. Nates Bucky led the strung-out field by the quarter in :28 and maintained a comfortable lead as Two For Tripping swung off the pylons to a :57.3 half.

Tide shifted up the backside for Nates Bucky as Two For Tripping scurried towards the top in a matter of strides. Sunseeker vacated the pocket, which forced Two For Tripping to roll three wide up the backside. Two For Tripping edged to the lead in a three-pronged charge past three-quarters in 1:27.1 and extended clear upon straightening for home. He stretched home a 4-3/4-length winner over Sunseeker with 9-5 favorite Whistler (Robert Ciavardini) finishing third and Nates Bucky fading to fourth.

Yvette Gallant trains Two For Tripping, a 6-year-old gelding by Sportswriter, for owner Ivan Gallant. He paid $10.60 to win.

Billings action shifts to Woodbine Mohawk Park on Monday (Oct. 23) with a $16,000 dash scheduled for Race 3 on the 12-race card. First-race post time at Woodbine Mohawk Park is 7:10 p.m. (EDT).
