Friendly Amigo and Windsong Soprano easily trounced rivals in their respective $33,263 Trillium Series divisions for three-year-old trotting fillies on Saturday night at Woodbine Racetrack.

The win also marked a milestone for Windsong Soprano who became Canadian harness racing�s newest millionaire.

In the opening contest, Bruce Richardson wasted little time sending Friendly Amigo to command from post six and, once on top, the daughter of Amigo Hall - Diminutive cruised through splits of :28.1, :57 and 1:25.3. In the stretch, the filly widened her advantage and crossed the
wire 6-3/4 lengths better than nearest rival Keep The Spirit with Ldees Creditreport finishing third in the 1:55.1 mile.

It was the fifth win in 22 starts this season for the Blair Burgess trainee who is owned by father Bob and wife Karin Olsson. The lion�s share of the purse boosted her bankroll to just over $316,000 lifetime.

It was much of the same in the second division as Windsong Soprano and driver Randy Waples waited for things to settle in the first quarter before moving to the lead and never looking back. In the end, it was a nine-length tally for the daughter of Windsongs Legacy - Muscling In who
stopped the clock in a scintillating 1:54.3.

SOS Respect got up in the final strides to nip Another Vixen for the place spot. The winner returned just $2.30 for the win.

The victory was the 10th in 19 starts this year and vaulted the Bob McIntosh trainee�s career bankroll over the $1 million mark for owner Lothlorien of Cheltenham, Ontario. (Woodbine)
