Six horses went to the starting gate for the ONT Colleen Stakes, and weather would not be a problem this far north, so the turf course was firm. This would be a race where the horses that were expected to do the best ended up stepping up and running well.

Half the Field Wins The Iselin Stakes
This area experienced some rain, downgrading the track to good, and that may have been the reason for the scratch of Tomahawks. The filly was the main storyline of the race, to see how her potential nine pound weight allowance would help.

Meet the Field for this Year’s Queens Plate Stakes
One of the biggest races of the year in Canada takes place on Sunday in the annual Queens Plate Stakes. It is the 15th time that race has been run, and it can often be counted on to see some of the top three year olds, in general, in the game, since breeding in Ontario is popular here.
No Standouts in Wide Open ONT Colleen Stakes
Sunday will be an exciting day of racing north of the border, and as we get ready for the Queen’s Plate, we have much more on the undercard. One of those races is the twelfth running of the ONT Colleen Stakes, a mile long turf race for three year old fillies.
Enormous Weight Allowance May Make Difference in The Iselin Stakes
Only five horses will be going to the gate for the Iselin Stakes, but that does not mean a lack of quality. Two horses have amassed over $1,300.000 in earnings, with another just a bit shy of $700.000. Therefore, we should still have a good and entertaining race on Saturday.
