Major Herbie Secures Semifinal Spot

Ontario’s talented three-year-old trotting colts journeyed to Dresden Raceway on Sunday afternoon, battling in five $24,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots divisions.

Heavy favourite Major Herbie cruised to a 2:00 victory three and one-half lengths ahead of Max Money and Big Strike.

Trainer Wayne Henry engineered the Here Comes Herbie son’s seventh victory of the season for his partners in the Henry Stable of Arthur, Ont., and Dan McCann of Parkhill, Ont. The win was Major Herbie’s fourth straight and moved him into a tie for second spot in the division standings, assuring him of a berth in the Sept. 24 Semifinal.
