Both horseman continued their run of outs on day four of the five-day championship at the Hippodrome 3R track in Quebec, yesterday.
While Dunn managed two second placings to hold on to fourth placing in the series standings, his chance of a second consecutive world title now looks a long-shot at best.
Canadian driver James MacDonald extended his lead with a heat win and two seconds placings taking him to 192 points. Finnish driver Mika Forss lies second on 166, ahead of American Marcus Miller on 162.5, while Dunn is even further back on 131.
Mark Purdon’s series of struggles continued yesterday. Four days of driving mostly outside chances has him in last place of the 11 championship drivers. The final day of the competition will be run at Charlottetown racecourse, on Prince Edward Island, tomorrow afternoon.
