ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The locals were shut out in the win column for the three major turf stakes here Sunday, but one trainer who still was happy with his day was Roger Attfield.
Attfield sent out Simmard to pick up second money of $100,000 in the Northern Dancer and Perfect Shirl to be the runner-up for a $60,000 payday in the Canadian.
“Simmard was touting me all week,” he said. “He and Perfect Shirl both just needed the right going to do well. I was delighted with both of them, and I was delighted with Hollinger, too.”
