Milton, September 20, 2025-Moticon Legacy again reigned over the Woodbine Mohawk Park Park on the surface when beating his own track and Canadian Harness Racing Record with a deduct record performance in the grade 1 $ 615,000 Canadian Trotting Classic, while the first Barrier was also in the past year.
Driver Louis-Philippe Roy sent emoticon alternative to the top against Happy Jack B in a charges to the first turn. Roy knew command after a: 25.4 first quarter and was sorted out for a slight rejection of the back to a: 54.3 half. Maryland, racing in the fourth, pulled the pins off and turned along the edge to Emoticon Legacy, although Roy immediately saw his load in a different gear of three -quarters in 1: 22.1 and got away. Emoticon Legacy sealed the race through the eighth post while Roy raced against the clock, the encouraged foal provided on loose lines to register a 1: 49.4 miles. Maryland was in second place, reported three lengths, third and Fadeaway Hanover used with Gap Kronos’s, which was fourth.

“That was the first time this year he was leaving the gate a bit hot,” Roy said after the race. “He didn’t give me the option, so I was just waiting for him. I just let him trot – as soon as he was at the front, I could do what I wanted. But I saw Maryland first and I said:” I don’t think it’s a good time to take a break and get him close to us. “I feel that he never gets tired. I hope he doesn’t get me wrong, but I think he will be pretty difficult to beat.
“The first quarter took a little more stress than the last time,” Roy also said, referring to the 1: 50.3 SIMCOE victory of the Colt on August 30. “You ask a trotter to go for a first quarter in: 25.4, certainly that he is still getting a little tired. But he keeps trotting and comes in a last quarter: 27 or something. [in the Simcoe] He had at least a full second under his chair. He likes to fight a horse, so as soon as he is on the front and one comes to him, I think that is what would have forced him to go faster. At the moment he is difficult to beat that way. “
The 1: 49.4 Mile reduces the 1: 50.2 Mark that emoticon legacy was established earlier this season when winning the GoodTimes Stakes Final on Pepsi North America Cup Night. It also corresponds to the all-age figure of 1: 49.4 Set by stallion Aetos Kronos S when winning his maple leaf-trot-elimination this year, but becomes shy for the fastest trampering mile ever in Canada of 1: 49.1 set by the outdated gonze Lexus Kody in this year’s Maple.
Luc Blais trains Emoticon Legacy, a home -commanded Walner Colt from the Kadabra Mare Emoticon Hanover, for determination of the owner.
“He learned this year with the pressure to go,” said Blais after the race. “I think he is more mature, it is. He is a real athlete. He recovers soon after every race, he is never sick. That is easy for me to deal with. It is an incredible feeling. Emoticon Hanover gave us a big sensation and that guy gives me the same feeling.”
Emoticon Legacy has now won 10 races from 15 Starts and a millionaire status started with $ 1,178,770 in the bank. Of the 1-5 favorite, he paid $ 2.60 to win.
