Ontario Sired Bulldog Hanover made a second-quarter move to the top and never looked back to win the first $62,500 Graduate division in 1:49.2. The Jack Darling trainee went third to first for driver Jody Jamieson, pacing by the half in :55.3 and three-quarters in 1:23 before shooting home in :26.2.
“I just thought I’d get to the front as early as possible and get the traffic out of the way,” said Jamieson. “He’s just such a great horse and I knew it was no problem getting to the lead and even if we had to race a little bit for it, it was going to be on, but it wasn’t and he won pretty handily.”
Making his Woodbine season debut, Bulldog Hanover is now two for three this season. The son of Shadow Play won 10 of 15 starts last season and Saturday’s 16th career victory pushes him to the brink of millionaire status.
Jack Darling Stables Limited and Brad Grant share ownership of ‘Bulldog’, who paid $5.70 to win.
