Pacing fillies finish off Harvest Series

Enola (Resolve) and Talk Curdy To Me (Betterthancheddar) captured the finals of the Ontario-sired Harvest Series for two-year-old trotting and pacing fillies, respectively, on Monday (Oct. 31) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Enola (Bob McClure) bolted out of the pocket down the lane and flipped the script on favoured leader Miss Expo (Sylvain Filion) to deny that rival a sweep and take the $43,000 trotting final in 1:58.4. Home From Away (Phil Hudon) finished third.

ENOLA REPLAY

Enola had placed behind Miss Expo in both preliminary legs – both times failing to pounce from the two-hole. The winner is now three-for-12 in her rookie year and has earned $64,876. Keith Jones trains the $26,000 Ontario Select sale purchase for Douglas McCarthy of Holland Landing.

Talk Curdy To Me (James MacDonald) swung three-wide on the homebound turn and surged to the front quickly, drawing clear in mid-stretch to win the $47,800 pacing final in 1:53.4. She held on by a length over the closing Charming Vixen (Jonathan Drury). Twin B Echo (Jody Jamieson) was third.

TALK CURDY TO ME REPLAY

It was Talk Curdy To Me’s fourth win in six starts. Her earnings now total $54,010 for 9261-7620 Quebec Inc. of St-Christophe-D’Arthabask and Mitchell Di Cenzo of Waterdown. Chantal Mitchell trains the filly.

MacDonald was the most successful driver on the foggy evening with four victories. Trainer Harry Poulton, meanwhile, got three winners home for TheStable.

Racing resumes at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Thursday, Nov. 3 at 7:00 p.m. EDT.
