No Pan Intended sweep in Ontario Sire Stakes Gold elims

Mohawk Racetrack played host to its first set of Ontario Sire Stakes Gold eliminations for 2-year-old colt pacers on Sunday night and sons of No Pan Intended swept all three $40,000(C) splits.

In the opening contest, OK Boromir shipped in from Sarnia and captured his second straight victory with a front-end 1:55.3 tally for driver Gene Piroski. The son of No Pan Intended-Double Creme was coming off a 1:54.4 win in his career debut on July 5 at Hiawatha Horse Park.

The colt made the front early and then turned in a :28 final quarter to turn back Riopelle and Windsong Fortune. He returned $8.80 to win.

Frank Baker Jr. does the training and co-owns the pacer along with Wray Wilson of Komoka, Ont.

Nebupanezzar turned in the fastest clocking with a sharp 1:54.1 victory in the second split for driver Steve Condren. The colt made a break at the start of his first career race at Grand River Raceway on July 4 but was flawless in Sunday's contest, scoring by 1 1/4 lengths over World Away and Shipps Xpectancy.

Bob MacIntosh trains the son of No Pan Intended-Western Wonder for the Peter Pan Stables of Pepper Pike, Ohio. He kicked back $10.10 in the victory.

The final elimination produced the most drama as race favorite Medoland Machoman crossed the wire first, but was disqualified and placed third for interference in the stretch drive.

Placed the winner was longshot Silver Sunset who returned a whopping $80.70 on the nose. Mike Saftic guided the son of No Pan Intended-Silver Seven from off the pace in the 1:54.3 effort. LH Remachable, who tried to squeeze through along the pylons in the late going, was elevated to the place spot while Medoland Machoman was demoted to third.

John Pentland trains the colt who was making just his second career start for owner Niele Jiwan of Burnaby, B.C.

The $120,000(C) OSS Gold final will go next Sunday night at Mohawk. Here is a look at the entire field in post position order:
