Thrill of victory beats a fistful of dollars

There are only three live racing days left in the 65th season at Assiniboia Downs. The trainer, jockey and owner races have already been decided, but there is still one major stakes race for two-year-olds and two mandatory jackpots that anyone could win.

Jerry Gourneau will win the training title for the fourth time in the past five years. Jorge Carreno will take his second straight riding championship at Assiniboia Downs. The Buffalo Stakes for Manitoba-bred two-year-olds going a mile takes place on Monday. Cuban Cobra won the Winnipeg Futurity last Monday by 2.3 lengths. Jackpot Hi-5 is a mandatory payout on the card on Tuesday. It's currently $20,051. If the pool isn't won by a lone winning ticket on that day, it could grow to $60,000 or more by the last race on Wednesday.
