The 2015 Ontario Sires Stakes (OSS) season wrapped up on Saturday night at Woodbine Racetrack with $2 million in purses on the line for a star-studded card of harness racing.
Waples headed straight back to the winner's circle with 1-9 choice Caprice Hill after keeping her to task in the final turn for the 1:56.4 triumph.
While five of the trotting fillies made early breaks, Waples sent Caprice Hill to the lead from post seven and the Tony Alagna trainee carved out fractions of :28.3, :58.1 and 1:27. Despite a bobble in the last turn and winding up out in the three-path, Caprice Hill recouped and trotted home for the two-length victory over the late-closing Emoticon Hanover (Sylvain Filion) and Silky Flashy Nfast (Mario Baillargeon).
"She's just unbelievable," said Waples, who picked up the catch-drive on the winning filly with Tim Tetrick unable to make the trip due to other stakes commitments stateside. "It was my fault that she made the bobble coming around the turn. I had so much horse and I was just letting her stay within herself, or whatever, and it was kind of deep footing on the rail and she just put a little bit of a step in there. As soon as I gave her her head, she took off trotting. She's just fantastic. Horses like that, they are so intelligent. She's going to have a long career, this filly."
The Kadabra-Bramasole filly boasts a near perfect freshman campaign with seven wins in eight starts and career earnings passing the half-million dollar mark for owner Tom Hill of Hamilton, Ont. She was the OSS divisional co-leader (with Devils Advocate) and also boasts victories in the Peaceful Way Stakes and a division of the Champlain.
"She's had three different drivers, you know, Yannick [Gingras], Timmy [Tetrick] and now Randy. Anybody can drive a Rolls-Royce and I think she's a Rolls-Royce with hair on," said Hill, who purchased the Hanover Shoe Farms-bred filly for $55,000 from the Harrisburg Sale.
Caprice Hill will now head to the Breeders Crown.
"I think probably -- you don't like to say this because people think you're big headed -- but I think she's probably the best trotting filly in the world," stated Hill. "And I think she's beat all the ones that have claimed to be the best. We're not afraid of any of them."
