AJAX DOWNS, AUGUST 9, 2022 - The Quarter Racing Owners of Ontario's lucrative Sprint Series comes to a conclusion on Wednesday, August 10 at Ajax Downs and CARNEROS is one win away from sweeping the three-race series. The brown 7-year-old, owned by Burlington's Milena Kwiecien and trained by Jason Pascoe of Pontypool won the first leg of the series at 110-yards on May 22 and the 220-yard second leg on June 29.
Any doubt that champion HAD TO BE IVORY might have a bit of trouble shortening up to 250 yards in the August 3 feature at Ajax Downs was erased as fast as the big gelding broke from the gate. The Ontario-bred 7-year-old, owned and bred by Carol Robertson and daughter-in-law Jaime in Hillsburgh, had a very sharp start and was hand ridden to the finish by jockey Josh Scott. His time of 12.954 translated to a whopping 108 speed index.
