QUEEN’S FATE

The Kentucky shipper gave the heavily-favored Breeders’ Cup participant Dixie Moon a run for her money in the Ontario Lassie Stakes. It was her first start on synthetics, and she could eventually end up in next year’s Woodbine Oaks.

ONE MORE DRIFT
Trainer: David Bell
Last race: Dec. 3, 1st
Finish: 4th by 5 1/4

The son of successful freshman sire Jimmy Creed had worked nicely prior to his debut in this six-furlong maiden special, during which he raced quite wide while closing belatedly.

INGE
Trainer: Norm McKnight
Last race: Dec. 2, 3rd
Finish: 1st by 1 1/2
Beyer: 63

The stakes-placed 2-year-old showed a new dimension when he closed wide from off slow fractions to win a $40,000 sprint, from which he was claimed by Woodbine’s second-leading trainer.
