Woodbine Mohawk Park card cancelled after six; New Rules takes New Holland Final
MILTON, March 29, 2025 – Woodbine Mohawk Park was forced to cancel Saturday evening’s card after six races due to inclement weather causing poor visibility.
A pair of finals for the New Holland Series was to highlight Saturday’s return of live racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park following a “March Break”. The New Holland Trotting Series Final was contested before the cancellation, while the New Holland Pacing Series Final will now take place next Saturday (April 5).
New Rules and driver Trevor Henry converted off a two-hole trip behind heavy-favourite Fashion Frenzie to take the $69,000 New Holland Trotting Series Final. It was a table-turning performance for New Rules, who had finished in the runner-up spot behind Fashion Frenzie in both preliminary legs.
Fashion Frenzie cut the mile against his four rivals, setting easy fractions of :58 and 1:28 to lead into the lane. New Rules popped off the favourites back and overtook halfway down the lane. The eventual winner had to contest with a late push from Locatelli, holding on by a head in 1:56.3.
Fashion Frenzie settled for third, while Truffles Too was fourth.
Trained by Dave Menary, New Rules is now five for nine this season with $133,500 earned for owner Pollack Racing LLC. The five-year-old’s career totals jump to 21 wins and over $400,000 earned.
New Rules paid $5.50 to win.
A Jackpot Hi-5 mandatory payout was scheduled for Saturday's last race. It will now be held at a later date with details to come next week.
Live racing resumes Monday evening at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Post time is 6:35 p.m.
