Nik Goodwin rode the winners of trials 4 and 5. He now has four quarter horse wins this season and is two wins from tying Ry Eikleberry, the all-time Q win leader at Canterbury, who has 107. Last season Goodwin became the all-time leader in purse earnings and currently has amassed $1.1 million in purses for his connections. Goodwin is also two thoroughbred wins away from reaching 1,000 career victories.
