Kirista Rabain was the biggest winner during weekend harness racing at Bermuda Equestrian Centre.

The top female driver chalked up three wins on three different ponies to add to her growing legacy and cap another memorable day of racing at the Devonshire racetrack.

Rabain was a heat winner with mare Crown’s Jewel in the 1:07/2-1:08/2 time bar and also drove to victory lane in the 1:05-1:06 and 1:13 & Slower divisions with gelding Nite Dreamer and filly Shady Lady.

Shady Lady got a leg out of the 1:13 & Slower time bar after posting a 1:12/4 in the ninth heat.

Mare Kate’s Little Lady, with Shaun Sealey in the sulky, managed to get a leg out of the 1:10/4-1:12/4 time bar after running 1:10/1 in the fifth heat.

Mare Abbey’s Dream (Thomas Whited) posted the day’s fastest time of 1:04/1 during the Best 3 Aged Stakes Races.

Gelding Brona’s Mike (Cameron Harris) had the second fastest time of 1:04/2 while stallions American Treat (Keira Whited) and GV Crystal Ball (Eddie Roque) had the third fastest time of 1:04/3.

Abbey’s Dream’s time in the 13th heat was one fifth of a second slower than the season’s fastest time of 1:04 achieved by GV Crystal Ball last month.

Filly Reel Machine, colt Cherokee’s Ironman and gelding Itsallaboutme, one of the newest ponies at the track, are joint leaders in the Best of 3 Three and Four-Year Old Stakes standings with six points.

Mare Cherokee Kibbitz leads the Aged Stakes standings by two-points over Abbey’s Dream with GV Crystal Ball a further point back in third.

The Best 3 Stakes series is comprised of six heats with the top four horses in the Three and Four Year-Old and Aged Divisions in the points standings advancing to a seventh and eighth championship race.

Only the top four horses in each heat are awarded points.
