Alex Picov Memorial Futurity
STREAKINLILWAGON
by John Moorehouse
Streakinlilwagon continued her winning ways on Oct. 5 at Ajax Downs, taking the $86,918 Alex Picov Memorial Futurity by daylight to add a stakes victory to her record as a rookie.
Streakinlilwagon was easily the fastest in the futurity, breaking on top from the 3-post and grab- bing a 1/2-length lead by the first call. She doubled her advantage going into the stretch, winning wire- to-wire by 1 1/4-lengths. Trained by Jason Pascoe, the filly finished the stakes race in :19.911, register- ing a 98 speed index. Helen Vanek was in the irons.
GFR Equine Services home-bred the bay filly, who has been to the winner’s circle four times in five outs. She’s undefeated in four starts at Ajax Downs, and the $34,767 prize from this event improved her total bankroll to $48,455. The only blip on her record is in her maiden race on April 16 at Remington Park in which she went to her knees at the break and still followed through with a third- place finish.
Streakinlilwagon becomes the second stakes win- ner out of lightly raced La Jollas Fortune. The other stakes winner is half-sibling Streakinshagginwagon, another veteran of the Ontario citcuit and winner of the 2013 version of the Picov Derby.
