Aiken makes a special return to the winners circle

Josh Aiken made his long-awaited return to the sulky in emphatic style when he steered home Maoris Mac to success in the Haras Des Trotteurs Nutrien Equine Classic Final for three-year-old trotting filles on Saturday night.

The 30-year-old hadn’t prepared a winner since 2018 or driven in a race since June last year, but piloted the squaregaiter home at long odds of $23 with the TAB.
