STRING BIKINI

Trainer: Nick Nosowenko
Last race: Aug. 15, 6th
Finish: 5th by 2 3/4
Beyer: 48

She closed strongly toward the inside from nine lengths back and galloped out far in front of the others in a five-furlong maiden dash for Ontario-sired juvenile fillies. Another furlong or two should be in her wheelhouse.

ULTIMATE DESTINY

Trainer: Alec Fehr
Last race: Aug. 14, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 87

The classy 6-year-old ran his best race of the year in a third-level optional claimer over nine furlongs, racing wide throughout over an inside-biased track before making a bid and tiring late.

ETHICAL FUNDS

Trainer: Nathan Squires
Last race: Aug. 12, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 1/2
Beyer: 63

He ran very wide throughout while closing nicely in his best performance since early in his 2-year-old season. The 3-year-old gelding by Giant Gizmo is bred to be a late bloomer and appears to be coming around.
