An alert girl in Ontario

It was a mild upset in Sunday’s $57,300(C) Ontario Girls Pacing Series final at Woodbine as Alerts Big Girl posted a sharp 1:54.2 victory.

Jody Jamieson had the 4-year-old daughter of Albert Albert-Special Alert sitting well off the pace and watched as race favourite Famous Hunch put up strong fractions of :28.1, :56.2 and 1:24.3. The early pace caught up with the race leader and the field began to bunch up by the time they reached the top of the stretch.

At that point, Jamieson had maneuvered his filly into a perfect second-over position and she kicked off cover with authority to win going away in 1:54.2. Famous Hunch dug in and held the place spot over Dee Dee Blue who finished third.

The victory was the second this season in five outings for the Joe Stutzman trainee who increased her career bankroll to more than $110,000 for owner Martin Dwyer of Pontypool, Ont.

It was another Winter Series win for Jamieson who recently returned from Atlantic City where he received the U.S. Harness Writers Association's Rising Star Award for 2006. (WEG)
