by Michael Compton
Eazy Street, a 2-year-old sorrel gelding, has made the first four starts of his career look just as his
name suggests. Eazy Street has won each of his starts - all at Ajax Downs - and remained undefeated with a facile score in the $51,255 Alex Picov Memorial Futurity on Oct. 7.
Ridden by regular rider Tony Phillips, Eazy Street jumped out
of the 4-gate on the lead in the 400-yard fixture and never looked back. He sprinted clear of his rivals and drove clear to a wire-to-wire 1/2-length victory. Trained by Bryn Roberston, the gelding stopped the clock in :20.650, earning an 81 speed index.
Owned by Jaime and Carol Robertson, Eazy Street is now perfect in four tries and sports earn- ings of $49,848 with this $20,502 winner’s share. This was his second stakes win, having also annexed the Ontario Bred Futurity.
Guylaine Paquin bred Eazy Street out of lightly raced Easily Holland. She has produced 100% money earners from eight starters. Eazy Street is her first stakes winner.
A Lone Hand (Azure Down There-Special Royal Tokeon) finished a game second for owner James Bogar and trainer Barry Wood. The bay gelding had previ- ously finished second in the Ontario
Sires’ Stakes Futurity on Aug. 25. Sweet Night Fever (Sweet First Down-Do Ya Disco), who is still in search of his initial win, and jockey Cory Spataro rallied late to finish third for owner/trainer Craig Spada. Followed by Silkin Siri (Desirio- Silken Memories), SW Artemisia (Second Painted Sign-Snowbound Lady Bug), Jess Carolinas Award (Winners Award-Jess Carolina), CC Senator Page (Louisiana Senator- Cassandra Chick), Rowdy And Bodacious (Bodacious Jess-Make Us A Miracle), Hidden Memory (Coronado Cartel-Is It Memorex) & SW I Am Snow Kool (Second Painted Sign-Barbie Kool).
