Cassandra Jeschke wins three including number 150
AJAX DOWNS, WEDNESDAY JULY 15, 2020 - Cobourg, Ontario's Cassandra Jeschke had to be a little more patient this year in getting her first riding victory at Ajax Downs. A perennial top 5 Quarter Horse rider in Ontario, Jeschke was seeking her first win coming into day six of the 2020 Ajax Downs season on July 15.
 
Not only did she begin her day by winning the first race, but she added two more to notch her 150th career win in just her seventh year of riding.
 
"It feels great," said Jeschke. "I try not to wonder [when the first win of the year is going to come] and just accept that when the horses are ready, they are ready."
 
Two of the winners came for her longtime client Chantelle Bourgeois of Enniskillen, for whom she helps train the horses at Bourgeois' farm before riding them in the races. 
 
SHAKE IT TWICE was Jeschke's third winner of the day, and 150th career winner as the flaxen-maned 4-year-old filly got back to her winning form in race 6, a speed index dash at 330-yards. Shake It Twice, a daughter of Bourgeois' own stallion Look at Magics Form and good mare Shake Pretty Baby, was one of 2019's top sophomore fillies and won the Ontario Sires Derby.
 
It was the second start of the year for Shake It Twice who has a career record of five wins in 11 races and over $72,000. She will now point to the Ontario Sires Maturity on Aug. 5.
 
Jeschke also rode Bourgeois' Momsextravagantheart to win a $13,500 allowance race and Carol and Jaime Robertson's Whisky James, a 2-year-old, who won the first race of the day.
 
The July 15 card also marked a successful return to racing for 2013 Horse of the Year ONE FAMOUS GLASS, who had last raced in the fall of 2018. The 10-year-old champion, owned by Carol and Jaime Robterson and Dr. Charles Hall and trained by Bryn Robertson showed little rust in his victory in race 4, his 19th win of his career. Tony Phillips was the winning rider.
 
Next week, July 22,  the Quarter Horse action heats up with the the trials for the new $50,000 Princess Derby for 3-year-old fillies. Racing is still held without spectators although the hope is that fans will soon be allowed to attend.
