All Day Sunshine Draws Off
All Day Sunshine had to work hard for the early lead, but she drew off late for an easy victory in Thursday’s (June 3) feature at The Meadows, a $10,300 fillies and mares conditioned pace.
The 4-5 favourite battled from the start with Just Zip It, finally reaching the point before the quarter. From there, the four-year-old daughter of Sunshine Beach and Mustang Kensley was on cruise control for Mike Wilder, defeating Just Zip It by five lengths in 1:52.2 over a sloppy surface. Something Reel finished third.
Paul Corey trains All Day Sunshine, who lifted her career bankroll to $195,800, for Kenneth Ashba.
Wilder piloted three winners on the 13-race card, including a pair for Corey and Ashba.
Elsewhere on Thursday’s program, Amanda Shaw recorded the first training victory of her career when Onlythetuffsurvive won the fifth race. Shaw has a pretty healthy UTR — it was only her second career start.
Live racing at The Meadows continues Friday (June 4), when the 13-race card features a $3,156.20 carryover in the final-race Super Hi-5. First post is 12:45 p.m.
