Warrawee Xenia crushes fourth straight conditioned field

Warrawee Xenia (Walner) kept the ball rolling with a fourth consecutive open-length harness racing victory in a row at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Tuesday (Jun. 28).

Bob McClure, the filly’s regular pilot this year, followed out the pair of Mask Of Zoro (Louis-Philippe Roy) and R Royal Port (Sylvain Filion) and dropped her in behind them as they approached the quarter in :28.2. R Royal Port took over nearing three-eighths, and Warrawee Xenia followed suit with a launch out of third nearing the half in :57.3.

Warrawee Xenia steadily gained approaching three-quarters in 1:26.2 and sailed past R Royal Port before the eighth pole, destined for a four-and-a-quarter-length victory in 1:54. R Royal Port was home in time for place. Feel The Force (Trevor Henry) rallied for third.

The winner secured the public’s trust for the fourth straight week and was sent off at 1/5.

She has five career wins and $49,000 in earnings in 10 tries. Shawn Steacy trains the three-year-old for David McDonald of Cornwall, Dale Larson of Kent City, Bertrand Gilhespy Stable of Edmonton and A K Malik Stable of Ottawa. She’s staked to the upcoming Casual Breeze, Elegantimage, and Simcoe Stakes.

Ontario Sires Stakes Gold action continues at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Thursday, Jun. 30 with three-year-old trotting fillies.
