ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Eternal Rule was recording his second win of the meeting and his third in as many career starts when he romped by 5 1/4 lengths under regular rider David Clark in the $150,000 Achievement for Ontario-foaled 3-year-olds.
Bred and owned by Donald Myers and trained by Sid Attard, Eternal Rule debuted last Nov. 7 with an off-the-pace win over seven furlongs.
“He’s a small, small horse so we took our time with him,” said Attard. “After that race he had a chip in his knee, so we operated on him.”
ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Bear It’s Time was facing a tough task in the 1 1/8-mile Woodbine Oaks, coming back on less than two weeks’ rest. She finished sixth after a winning seasonal bow in the seven-furlong Lady Angela.
But the scenario had changed heading into last Sunday’s $250,000 Bison City, and Bear It’s Time, with four weeks to regroup, rallied for a head victory in the 1 1/16 mile-stakes for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies.
Derive will appreciate the class relief when he runs in a second-level allowance race for 3-year-olds and up at Northlands Park Wednesday. The 6 1/2-furlong sprint drew six horses and is a part of an excellent nine-race card that begins at 6 p.m. Mountain.
Vindgari was the runner-up in last year’s Wheat City, and he will be looking to go one better in Wednesday’s renewal of the one-mile stakes at Assiniboia Downs. The $25,000 Wheat City has drawn a field of 10 older horses and will go as the seventh of eight races on the program, which begins at 7:05 p.m.
Vindgari, a Kentucky-bred 6-year-old who is owned by Arnold Heppner and trained by Carl Anderson, has seen action twice this year, finishing third in the 5 1/2-furlong allowance prep for the Free Press and then second in the six-furlong main event.
The 20-1 longshot Hour By Hour led every step of the way to win the Dale Baird Memorial for older horses, one of three $75,000 stakes Sunday night at Mountaineer Park.
In the other stakes, Kingofthebluegrass won the Independence Day and Lunar Mist took the Firecracker.
Immortal Eyes is more than a Charles Town flash. The 6-year-old gelding’s last five wins had come in 4 1/2-furlong Charles Town sprints, but Immortal Eyes won the six-furlong, $50,000 Chesapeake Stakes on Sunday at Colonial Downs in a track-record 1:07.97.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Overvalued led from start to finish in the $50,000 Supernaturel Stakes at Hastings on Sunday.
Jockey Dave Wilson restrained Overvalued through moderate fractions of 24.19 seconds and 47.47 in the 1 1/16-mile feature. She opened up a clear lead on the stretch turn and then easily held off the late move from heavily favored Castinette Dancer. The winning margin was 2 1/2 lengths. Belle Evangeline, who prompted the early pace, finished third.
The final time was 1.45.14.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. – After running in graded stakes and chasing top turf sprinter Regally Ready earlier this year, Gallant Son faced an easier field in Sunday’s $81,898 Robert Kerlan Memorial Handicap at Hollywood Park.
That did not necessarily make jockey Mike Smith’s job easier. Gallant Son, who is not fond of the whip, was vigorously hand-ridden through the stretch to win by a head over pacesetter Streakin’ Mohican. Don Tito finished third in the field of eight.
