Toronto-Hard-Trying Stanley -Huis Earned his first effort in style after taking the $ 100,000 Niagara Stakes on Saturday in Woodbine.
Scharsend under Leo Salles, took the several graded stakes that were placed 5-year-old the head steps after the start of the 1 ¼-MIJL test for 3-year-olds and above a sturdy EP Taylor Turf.
Prior to his nearest enemy with 1 ¼ lengths after an opening quarter in: 25.18, Stanley House, the 9-5 Mutuel-choice, his advantage extended to 2 ½ lengths by a half in: 49.04.
A confident Salles kept Stanley House on the way to the last turn and the duo started to leave their rivals in the early stretch. Halfway through the track was the only thing left to decide, the margin of the victory and that would fill in the second, third and fourth places.
Those answers came in the form of a four-length triumph and dance in Da’nile, Roscar and legal catch.
The last time was a lively 1: 59.38. Inflexibility contains the track record of 1: 58.88, which was completed on July 30, 2017.
“He is a very talented horse,” Salles praised. “Mike gave me the chance to get to know him well. The stretch -out in distance helped him. Everything worked well – we all put it together.”
Mike de PauloHe trains for owners John and Diana Russell, also praised the effort of the Dark Bay, but thought it would go home that Stanley House might be a collared.
“I thought he would love grass,” said the Paulo. “His family tree says dirt. I called Leo a lot of names, let me tell you, but he did it and we will take it. They walked very fast, but a few signs of the track record. He has always been a good horse – just glad he popped up.”
It was the fourth victory, to go with seven seconds and three thirds from 22 career -star for Stanley House.
Bred in Ontario by Elevage II, LLC & St. Elias Stables, LLC, the son of Army Mule from the song of the Song Mare Stormy of the Unbidled Let his girl broke in his fourth start, a race of 1/16-melijl about the Gulfstream All-Weather Track on March 25, 2023.
