Alex Lilley was the star of opening day at Dresden Raceway as he notched a driving triple.

The 32-year-old Dutton reinsman notched his first with DISTINCTIV SEAN in the sixth race as he guided the 6-year-old Rambaran gelding home in 1:59.1

Lilley made it to the winner’s circle in the ninth race aboard MACH SHARK, a five –year-old Mach Three mare in 2:01.1 and then again in the 10th with FORTUNE NEW MOON, a four-year-old Rambaran gelding.

Tyler Borth scored a driving double with VICTORYS PEANUT and CARLYS HOLLYWOOD while Vic McMurren had a training double on the day with DISTINCTIV SEAN and MACH SHARK.

The on track handle for the live racing was $21,448 as almost 500 people pushed through the gate.
