James MacDonald and Rock N Roll Xample were 1:53.4 winners in the Blossom Series on Friday.

The pacing miss will look for the C$36,000 series sweep on Friday (April 11) at Woodbine.

Outtathewheelhouse and Jonathan Drury gunned their way to the front to lead past the opening station in a quick :26.3, ahead of Polk Dot Hanover (Billy Davis, Jr.). Heading towards the half in the C$15,000 tilt, James MacDonald pulled on the right line and aimed Rock N Roll Xample out of third and to command before the midway point in :56.2.

From there, the heavily-favored daughter of Rocknroll Hanover guided her rivals past three-quarters in 1:24.2, before opening up on her eight foes to score a comfortable 4-3/4 length victory in 1:53.4. Noble Jilly (Jody Jamieson) finished second with Wildcat Magic (Chris Christoforou) third.

Trained by Shawn Robinson for owner/breeder Robert Hamather, Rock N Roll Xample increased her bankroll to C$66,090. The bay lass has a 6-2-1 record from 11 starts this season. She paid $3.90 to win.
