Shacked Up turned in a dominant performance on Saturday night to win the $170,000 Ontario Sires Stakes Gold Final for three-year-old filly pacers in 1:52.3 over a sloppy Mohawk oval.
The daughter of Western Terror - Sapphire Dawn got away fifth in the early stages for driver Luc Ouellette and watched her stablemate Kabbalah Karen B lead through the opening quarter of :27 seconds.
As the field straightened up towards the half, Coming Late pulled out from second to take over briefly but then yielded to the onrushing Shacked Up who cleared just past the :57-second half mile.
After putting up three quarters in 1:25.1, Ouellette gave Shacked Up the green light and she responded by kicking away from rivals with a :27.2 final quarter. Coming Late was able to hold the place spot with Cheap Motel rallying for third, making it a 1-2-3 finish for conditioner Tracy Brainard.
Shacked Up returned a popular $4.40 in picking up her fourth win in 10 starts this season. The winner’s share of the purse elevated her career earnings to just over $440,000 for owner Bulletproof Enterprises of Boca Raton, Florida. (WEG)
