Patrick Husbands won the featured G3 Whimsical Stakes on Let It Ride Mom to give him a double, but kin Christopher Husbands also doubled up, on front-runners Fuhr Love and Miss Savvy.

C. Husbands usually rides at Assiniboia Downs during the summer, and it will be interesting to see if he sticks around for the remainder of the meet or heads back to Winnipeg.

Leading rider Rafael Hernandez and leading trainer Norm McKnight combined for two victories.

Riker, Canada's champion male 2yo in 2015, plunged to $8K for his second run of the year, and crushed the opposition by nine lengths. There were no takers for the Nick Gonzalez charge.

Front-runners and stalkers won the majority of the races, but some of them benefited from a slow pace, and a true speed bias may not have been in existance.

The handle was an excellent $4.2 million.

The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover heading into Sunday's expanded 11-race card is $14K.
