Malicious scored in 1:53.3 in his division of the Dream Maker Series.

Malicious took charge early in the first C$20,000 split for driver Paul MacDonell and then turned back a stern challenge from Lake Shark in the third quarter to emerge victorious in 1:53.3. Lake Shark raced gamely to finish within three-quarters of a length of the winner despite a :27 final quarter. It was almost five lengths further back to Mcaracas who finished third.

Malicious, a son of Bettor’s Delight-Silky, ran his career unbeaten streak to four for trainer Dr. Ian Moore who co-owns along with R G McGroup Ltd. and Serge Savard. He returned a popular $2.80 to win.

Whackamole Hanover turned in another gritty first-over effort to take the second division for driver Roger Mayotte in 1:54.2. The son of Cam’s Card Shark-Western Duel got up in the late stages to upend Warrawee Legend with Rafferty Hanover landing the show spot.

Whackamole Hanover is now two-for-two to start his racing career and was sent off as the 7-2 third choice in the wagering despite the fact he was a winner in leg one. Trainer Tim Pinske shares ownership of the colt along with Jim Simpson.

The C$55,000 Dream Maker Series Final will go postward next Monday night (August 3) at Mohawk.
