ELENORR, ‘15-f. Squincheyes
Ontario Sires Stakes Derby
ELENORR
by John Moorehouse
After finishing a distant eighth in her stakes debut, Elenorr came back more than two years later on the same track and scored her first-ever stakes victory, winning the $51,760 Ontario Sires Stakes Derby at Ajax Downs on Sept. 2.
Under Cassandra Jeschke, she broke well from the inside starting gate, led by 3/4-length at the first call, and widened her advantage to 1 1/4-lengths by the time she reached the stretch to cross the wire with the same lead. They completed the 350 yards in :17.710 for a 97 speed index
The filly now holds four wins in eight lifetime starts. This marked her second career stakes attempt.
Brian Bell for owners, DK Training Centre & Richard Wincikaby and trainer Don Reid. Fastest qualifier Smoakn Gun (Iced N Oak-Jamies Gotta Gun) & Cory Spataro were 3rd for owner Stephanie Keeble
& trainer Greg Watson. Followed by Junoimzoomin (Junos Back- Jessshazoom), Zoomin Special Angel (Mr Jess Tex-Zoomingly), Firing Red Jess (Mr Jess Tex-Easily Holland), Hellfires Mistress (Fire Finder-Cotton Country), Hanover Hill Sugar (Make Out Artist-Secret Sugarwoman), Chilleh Pepper (Iced N Oak-Zoomin Hot) & Too Much White (Fire Finder-Gotta Blazin Body).
She made her debut at that level on Aug. 13 of last year in the Ontario Sires Stakes Futurity, finishing well out of contention in that race after she was bumped and lost her lane.
Elenorr brought home the $20,704 winner’s share of the Ontario Sires Stakes Derby purse, boosting her cumulative earnings to $46,557. She is owned and trained by Scott Reid.
Reid bred the filly out of 4-time winner Squincheyes, dam of 2 starters/winners, including Albertt, who was 2nd in the 2017 Alex Picov Memorial Championship. Elenorr is her first stakes winner.
Chase This Yawl (Mr Jess Tex-Ms Mollie Malone) was 2nd under
