Longtime Ontario owner-breeder Joan Agro passed away last Friday at 89. Agro campaigned stakes-winning homebreds Sophia’s Prince and Michael’s Bad Boy at Woodbine. Sophia’s Prince shattered the 6 1/2-furlong track record when taking the 2005 Shepperton Stakes, one of his 10 victories under the guidance of trainer John LeBlanc Jr. Michael’s Bad Boy won 14 races, most notably the 2009 Steady Growth Stakes for trainer Nick Gonzalez. Agro was married for 68 years to Louis Agro, who shared her passion for horse racing. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Joan's name to demazenod-door.ca, which is an outreach program in Hamilton, Ontario, that supplies meals for hundreds of people daily.
