Ole's Miss will point to Ballerina Stakes

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Trainer Tracy McCarthy was still in recovery mode Wednesday morning after watching Ole’s Miss win the $100,000 British Columbia Oaks on Sunday. Ole’s Miss wrapped up the local 3-year-old filly title with her narrow win over Irish Lyric in the 1 1/8-mile Oaks. It was her fourth stakes win this year, and the combined margin of her four wins is less than three-quarters of a length. She won the Oaks by a head.
“She likes to give us all a bit of a heart attack and then resuscitates us,” said McCarthy. “It’s just who she is. Even if she can, she is never going to win by daylight.”
McCarthy said Ole’s Miss will be pointed to the Grade 3, $100,000 Ballerina for fillies and mares Oct. 13.
◗ Jockey Ryan Pacheco is out for the remainder of the year after fracturing his C1 vertebra in a spill Sunday.
