Nebupanezzar captures OSS Gold Final in 1:54

Bob McIntosh pupil, Nebupanezzar, gave early notice of impressive pacing talent Sunday night as he captured the $120,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Gold Final for two-year-old colts and geldings in 1:54.0.

A full brother to The Mohegan Pan, who was triumphant on Saturday in his elimination for the Canadian Breeders’ Championships, Nebupanezzar was the heavy favourite in a field which also featured World Away (younger brother to top open pacer, Mister Big) and OK Boromir, who was undefeated in two starts so far.

Longshot Windsong Fortune (Jason Brewer) shot to the early lead from the extreme outside and set early fractions of :26.3 and :55.4, but Steve Condren brought Nebupanezzar alongside and cleared to the front shortly after the half-mile marker. From there, the son of No Pan Intended opened up a three-length lead, rebuffing challenges from OK Boromir (Gene Piroski) and LH Remachable (Mark MacDonald) and crossing the wire a confident length to the good over OK Boromir.

World Away and Jody Jamieson, who endured traffic trouble for most of the mile, made a late rush to take third money.

Bred and owned by the Peter Pan Stables of Pepper Pike, Ohio, Nebupanezzar now has two wins in three starts to his credit, and earnings of $80,350. He improved his career clocking by one-fifth of a second with the victory. (WEG)
