Odds-on favourites lived up to their billing in Tuesday's (June 26) Ontario Sires Stakes (OSS) Gold events for three-year-old trotting colts and geldings at Woodbine Mohawk Park, with both Stormont Ventnor and Run Director converting in their respective $97,200 divisions.
Fresh off a runner-up effort to Wolfgang in the $266,000 Goodtimes, Stormont Ventnor ($3.40) used a gradual ascent to claim a mid-race lead which he would not relinquish for a 1:54.2 score in the second of two OSS splits of the night (race 6). Phil Hudon floated the gelded son of Justice Hall into mid field on approach to the first turn before engaging early pacesetter Mister Magic (Per Henriksen) with three-eighths of the one-mile race elapsed.
Stormont Ventnor accelerated to clear nearing a :57.3 half-mile split before facing — and parrying — first-over engagement from Jula Downton (Louis-Philippe Roy) on the far turn. Digging in to hold his ground past three-quarters in 1:25.4, Stormont Ventnor was kept to task through the final eighth to stave off a belated stand-side rally from Perfetto (Trevor Henry) by 1-1/2 lengths. Mister Magic, who briefly reclaimed second in mid-stretch, was collared for the runner-up spot in the final strides.
Kevin Benn trains 4-time winner Stormont Ventnor for owner-breeder Eric Baker.
In the earlier division (race 4), Run Director ($2.40) drafted behind a pair of speedy leavers before brushing up the far side en route to a decisive 1:55 victory, the second of his career. After yielding to the longshot pair of Henderson Seelster (Bob McClure) and Tinas Mattjesty (Dagfin Henriksen) on approach to the clubhouse turn, Sylvain Filion angled Run Director off the pegs with eleven-sixteenths of the one-mile journey remaining. The son of Kadabra floated to a clear lead past a :58.1 half mile and faced nary a challenge after seizing control.
Run Director edged away willingly after completing three-quarters in 1:27.3, handily opening up 4-1/4 lengths of clearance through a :27.2 closing sectional. Tinas Mattjesty angled out in mid-stretch to narrowly claim second from Henderson Seelster.
Run Director, a Thomas and Elizabeth Rankin homebred, is trained by Benoit Baillargeon. It was the second career win in eight tries for Run Director, who was a runner-up to Jula Downton in his previous Ontario Sires Stakes event this season.
In the night's $34,000 Preferred Trot (race 9), Dancer Hall ($5.80, Filion) earned his fourth win in five starts, taking control up the backstretch and controlling soft middle fractions of :57.2 and 1:26.3 before unleashing a :26.3 closing panel to ice his 13th career win in 1:53.1. Warrawee Roo (McClure) narrowly held off Emoticon Hanover (James MacDonald) for the runner-up spot.
