Kirista Rabain stamped her authority all over the penultimate race day of the 2015-16 harness racing season at the weekend.

The female driver won four heats with two different ponies to finish as the day’s top performer at the Bermuda Equestrian Centre.

Rabain posted two victories with J & A Peniston’s gelding, Nite Dreamer, competing in the 1:06/1 – 1:07/1 division.

She also had two victories in the faster 1:05 – 1:06 division with J & A Peniston’s mare, JustWatchMe, to cap another fine outing at Vesey Street racetrack.

“The ponies ran awesome and it was truly rewarding,” Rabain said. “It’s really exciting when the horses try and you don’t have to make them. They want to run, and I’m glad they performed well.

“Nite Dreamer has his heart all in it again and he’s so much fun to race.

“JustWatchme is a bit of a challenge. She’s new to the island, so we’re still figuring her out. But she’s still fun to drive, she loves to race. Her heart is like Secretariat (US Triple Crown winner), she’s bred to run and really puts her all into it.”

Rabain was one of two female drivers earning trips to the winner’s circle as Andrea Westerfield won the day’s final heat with GV Crystal Ball, in the Free for All.

Westerfield and Rabain have both qualified for this weekend’s season ending Champion of Champions with GV Crystal Ball, and JustWatchMe.

Westerfield was the first woman to win the Champion of Champions.

Meanwhile, Tyler Lopes, Philip Correia and Christian Truran were the remaining multiple heat winners.

Lopes won two of the four heats in the Free for All with Arnold Manders’s gelding, Cherokee’s Ironman.

Correia also chalked up two victories with two different horses. The former Driving Horse and Pony Club president had one win with Full Throttle Racing’s mare, Pocket de Gold, in the Free for All and another in the slower 1:06/1 – 1:07/1 division with Simsfield Stables’s two-year-old mare, Double Time.

Truran swept both heats in the 1:07/2 – 1:09/2 division with Inwood Stables’s two-year-old filly, Inwood’s Progress.

Cherokee’s Ironman posted the day’s fastest time of 1:03/2 in the Free for All, which was two fifths of a second slower than the season’s fastest time, which the gelding holds.

GV Crystal Ball posted the day’s second fastest time of 1:04/2 and Pocket de Gold the third of 1:04/4, also in the Free for All.

This weekend’s Champion of Champions races feature the eight fastest qualifiers.

The event kicks off with Saturday’s qualifiers which will see the top four ponies advancing to Sunday’s final.

The field comprises of Cherokee’s Ironman, Inwood Stables’s gelding Brona’s Mike and mare Abbey’s Dream, GV Crystal Ball, Simsfield Stables’s stallion Simsfield Hardtimes, Pocket de Gold, JustWatchMe and Whited Family’s mare IC’s Overextended.

Cherokee’s Ironman is the firm favourite to claim the coveted blanket.
