Check Six (PP5, Yannick Gingras) heads into the first elim (Race 5) off of a sub-1:50 win at the Meadowlands Racetrack last weekend.

Mach Three gelding Sintra (PP6, Jody Jamieson) is carrying a two-race win streak into the second elim.

The bay is owned by Brad Gray (of Dundas, Ont.), Michael Guerriero (Brampton, Ont.) and Menary Racing Inc. (Rockton, Ont.). Sintra has won 10 of his 21 starts and has only missed the board of three occasions. His six-length win in his Graduate prelim was clocked in a life’s best 1:49.1.
