Winter Series action continued on Friday’s 11-race card at Woodbine Racetrack and, once again, Doug McNair was the first star of the night.

McNair, who swept round one of the Blizzard Series on Thursday, made four visits to the winner’s circle on Friday’s card, including in one of two divisions of the Snowshoe Series for three and four-year-old pacers.

Awesomeness was sent straight to the front by McNair in the first $17,000 Snowshoe split and never looked back en route to an impressive 1:52 victory. The Ryan Maxwell trainee posted a snappy opening quarter of :26.1 and after a middle-half of :58.4, fired home in :27 to win by seven and a half lengths.

Clouseau Hanover finished second, while Emptythetill was third.

A gelded son of Mach Three, Awesomeness has been making some serious noise at Woodbine over the last couple months. The four-year-old didn’t make his career debut until October and now has six wins in 12 starts, while only finishing outside the top-two once.

Awesomeness, who was making his second start of the New Year on Friday, was purchased privately by Martin Scharf in November and has won three of six starts since joining the Maxwell stable. His career earnings now sit at $76,100.

The Maxwell trainee paid $3.60 to win.
