Isle Of Patmos to qualify

Isle of Patmos, last year's leading earner among the 2-year old colt and gelding pacers on the Ontario Sire Stakes Circuit with more than $320,000 in purses, will begin his 3-year-old campaign on Friday morning in a qualifier at Pompano Park.



"He trained in 2:00 on Saturday," co-owner David Scharf said. "He will qualify on Friday morning at Pompano, and then will ship to Canada to qualify at Mohawk on May 14. His first stakes race is the Burlington (June 4 at Woodbine)."



Last year, Isle of Patmos had victories in a division of the Nassagaweya Stakes and the Ontario Sire Stakes Super Final at Woodbine, where he took his lifetime mark of 1:51.4.



Isle Of Patmos is a son of Astreos out of the Kiev Hanover mare Banska Bela. He is co-owned by Scharf, Jerry Silva, Sampson Street Stables, and R. Peter Heffering, and he is trained by Mark Capone.



In addition to the Burlington and his Ontario Sires Stakes Gold Series events, he is eligible to the Pepsi North America Cup at Woodbine and the Confederation Cup at Flamboro Downs.
