Ismael Mosqueira rode Spy For The Senate to a neck victory in the $15,985 QROOI Distance Series
Stakes #3 at Ajax Downs on Oct. 6. Prepped by Jason Pascoe for owner
Milena Kwiecien of Burlington, Ontario, Spy For The Senate covered 440 yards in :21.628 while racing against a reported 11-mph head wind. The 5-year-old son of the Jess Louisiana Blue stallion Louisiana Senator earned a 108 speed index and the $7,523 winner’s share of the purse from his second stakes win of the meet.
Spy For The Senate has won 11 of 33 starts and has banked $133,055. His career resume includes a victory as the fastest qualifier in the 2018 Alex
Picov Memorial Futurity. Spy For The Senate has earned $21,101 from four outs at Ajax Downs this season, and his three wins include a 3/4-length score in the 350-yard first leg of the QROOI Distance Stakes series on July 7.
Spy For The Senate was bred in Oklahoma by Mary L. Hainline.
The stallion is out of Corona Spy,
a winning 10-year-old daughter of
the Holland Ease stallion Corona Cartel, and he is a half-brother to MH Apollitical Spy, an Apollitical Blood gelding who ran third in last year’s Speedhorse Futurity-G3 at
Fair Meadows at Tulsa. The stallion traces back to his fourth dam, Super Rich, a graded stakes winning Timeto
Thinkrich mare.

Chicks Man-Bac To Center) finished second and earned $3,761 for his owner, Ralph Pearson. Cassandra Jeschke rode the Ontario-bred 8-year- old gelding for trainer Don Reid.
