The spring meet at Woodbine has been productive. We have started 13 horses in 23 races. We have had 2 wins, 2 seconds and 6 thirds, for a total purse earnings of $154,324.
Mr Foricos Two U has showen much promise in his two starts this year. The Ontario Sired homebred, of the Annecchini and D’Alimonte partnership, scored a smart win May 9th in a restricted Maiden Special Weight event. His next step will be to stretch out to 1 1/16 miles, if he is able to handle the distance, than we will seriously concider the Queen’s Plate for him.
Short Shorts showed grit and determination to win a restricted allowance race in her second start of the season. Under the handling of Chantal Sutherland, the petite dark brown filly closed late in the turn, bid at the top of the stretch and drove clear. The four year old daughter of Bold ‘N Flashy has now amassed earnings of over $200,000.
Last week, Jambalaya arrived at Woodbine to begin training. He has been given a clean bill of health, and so the decision was made to try him again. His coat is very shinny and he looks super. We will all keep our fingers crossed that he will make a successful come back.
We have many races coming up in the next few weeks to which we are looking forward. We also have some exciting two year olds that are getting close to running. We hope to progress from a usefull spring into an even more successfull summer.
