Roberts won twice with Just a Gigolo and again with Direct Toy Boy, both Bermuda-bred ponies, while Eddie Roque scored a double with Tuxedo Bow Tie.

Francis DeSilva's new pony Speedway Jr. and Joe Viera's Grand Magic also won twice.

Another in top form was Tony Adcock's Diamondway who set a track record for trotters last week and on Sunday equalled that record, winning the day's feature race in 1:15/1.

Most exciting race of the day was the first heat in the free-for-all when Michael DeCosta's Grand Shady, who had fallen to his knees before the start and delayed the event, got up to bolt to the front and look a sure winner. But at the finish, Shady was nipped by fast moving Carolina Jubilee, Murray Terceira's big gray gelding.

Jubilee also won the second heat while Eddie the Great with Dal Vasconcelos was third both times.

Racing is again scheduled this Saturday, starting at 1.00 p.m.
