At 10h03, on September 24, 2023 • By Steven Wolf
A strong field of nine two-year-old pacing colts and fillies will battle it out at the Hippodrome 3R on Sunday (Sept. 24) in a $6,000 feature race.
The 2nd race is headlined by Boomboom Tonight (Sportswriter) who starts from the far outside post eight for driver Marc Belanger and owner-trainer-breeder Elisabeth Pothier of St-Christophe-D’Arthabask of Quebec.
Boomboom Tonight enters the main event on a three-race winning streak. His last start was his lifetime best at the right time as he led from start to finish in the $55,000 Quebec Championship Final in 1:58, a lifetime mark. He has won four of his six lifetime starts.
Making her debut at H3R from post seven is Ontario invader Sweet Molly (Sweet Lou) from post seven for driver Francis Picard. Sweet Molly has two wins this year, the fastest a 1:58 mark taken at Grand River Raceway.
Trained by Jacques Dupont for the Ecurie CSL, Sweet Molly had been second in her last two starts, timed in 1:57.4 and 1:57.
Shes Rock (Hes Watching) is another Quebec Champion in the race from post six for driver Robert Shepherd and trainer Isabelle Darveau. She was able to come from off the pace in winning her $55,000 Championship final last start at odds of 14-1 for her maiden win in 2:02.1. She is owned by Bruce Tremblay of Shipshaw, Quebec.
Other contenders in the field include Ronda Du Lac (post 5), Lyons Shine On (post 9) and D Gs Lorijeanne (post 1).
First race post time on Sunday is 12:00 noon.
