It was Ladies' Day at Woodbine.
Trainer Gail Cox found the mark with both of her starters, allowance winner Way to Versailles and the 17-1 outsider Ladies Night, who notched a 2yo maiden special after awaiting room from fourth. Gary Boulanger rode both fillies.
Sheena Ryan guided the popular Be Vewy Vewy Quiet to victory in the $125K Clarendon Stakes, a sprint for Ontario-breds. The unbeaten Silent Name gelding is the pro-tem leader of the local Ontario-sired 2yo division.
Emma-Jayne Wilson doubled up on The Craic and U S Marshall. The latter was a gutsy winner of a 10-furlong N2X/optional claimer.
Fragrace, a nicely-bred 3yo daughter of Malibu Moon, was an authroitative debut winner for trainer Catherine Day Phillips.
A strong west wind enabled front-runners and stalkers to dominate the results.
Nobody won the Jackpot Hi 5 outright, and the carryover heading into Sunday is well over $600K.
