Condren captures Drivers-Jockeys Charity Golf Challenge
Steve Condren’s six-iron shot landed just nine feet from the pin, earning him closest to the pin honours in the inaugural Drivers-Jockeys Golf Challenge on Sunday evening at Mohawk.
Condren and fellow
drivers Chris Christoforou,
Jody Jamieson, Paul MacDonell and Mike Saftic faced off for charity against jockeys Sandy Hawley, Gerry Olguin, Na Somsanith, Robert Landry and Ray Sabourin.
Each player took two shots at the 170- yard infield hole, with the player whose
shot was closest to the pin earning $1,000 for his charity of choice. Condren chose the Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society as the beneficiary.
Hall of Fame jockey Sandy Hawley was next closest after nailing a beautiful shot that finished 16 feet left of the hole.

On Breeders' Stakes Day at Woodbine,
the trio was on hand for a special event to honour Canada's 2005 Horse of the Year and multiple stakes winner.
The now-retired A Bit O'Gold was back on familiar ground, so to speak, taking up residence in the Toronto oval's walking ring, while Day Phillips and Jones signed limited edition prints (a total of 500 were offered) featuring various pictures of the popular thoroughbred.
For those in attendance, it was the ideal way to pay tribute to a horse that captured the hearts of Canadian racing fans during his outstanding career.
"He's a horse that deserves a lot of respect," said Ken Carriere, of the 2004 Prince of Wales and Breeders' Stakes win- ner. "He was a great horse to watch. He always gave everything he had out there. It was nice to see him one more time."
