Heavy favorites Lexis Amigo and Swordfish each posted dominant victories in their respective Autumn Stakes eliminations for 3-year-old colt and gelding trotters on Monday night at Woodbine Racetrack.

Both trotters used front-end tactics, including Lexis Amigo who marched straight to the front from post three in the first split for driver Mike Saftic and easily tallied by 3-1/4 lengths in 1:56. The gelded son of Amigo Hall - Lexus Hall used a sharp :28.1 final quarter to dispose of J Cs Magic Man and Mac Lennan.

It was the fourth win in 13 starts this season Lexis Amigo who increased his seasonal earnings to just over $60,000 for owner-trainer Norm Dunstan of Caledon Village, Ontario. He returned just $2.40 for the win.

Swordfish made the front easily from post two in the second elimination for driver Luc Ouellette and wired the field by 2-3/4 lengths in 1:56.1. The gelded son of Kadabra - Lady Wrestler turned back Delcrest Sonny and Mr Snoops while kicking back a paltry $3.70 to win.

It was the second win in just seven career starts for Swordfish, who is owned and trained by Phil Leclerc of Rockwood, Ontario. The lion�s share of the purse boosted his bankroll to just over $32,000.

The $50,000 Autumn Stake Final will go postward on next Monday night at Woodbine. (WEG)
