Two-year-old trotting fillies clashed in a set of $20,000 divisions in Thursday’s opening round of the Pure Ivory Trotting Series at Woodbine Mohawk Park, and as often is the case with young trotters – the favourites faltered.
Dabra Day posted a 17-1 upset thanks to her 1:57.1 triumph in the opening split for driver Louis-Philippe Roy and trainer Meg Crone.
Roy brushed to the top early with Dabra Day who chopped out the opening quarter in :28.1 before being overtaken in the backstretch by the pocket-sitting favourite, Angelonia. The new leader proceeded to cruised through middle splits of :59.1 and 1:28.3, but she weakened late. Dabra Day swept out in the lane and kicked home in :28.2 to win by 2-3/4 lengths over Pencils Down. Angelonia faded to finish third.

For the second straight year, a Rideau Carleton Raceway track record has fallen during Ontario Sires Stakes competition.
In the second of two $99,800 Gold Series divisions at the Ottawa oval on Sunday, July 11, three-year-old trotting colt Logan Park sprinted down the stretch to reel in pacesetter Highland Mowgli and trip the teletimer at 1:52.4. Highland Mowgli settled for second, a half length behind the favourite, and Macho Martini was three lengths behind in third. The mile lowered the former three-year-old trotting colt and gelding record of 1:54.1 set by All Wrapped Up in 2019 and equaled the all-age track record set by P L Notsonice in three-year-old trotting filly Gold Series action last summer.
