Driver Jody Jamieson visited the winner’s circle following the pair of featured races on the 11-race card at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Saturday (July 17).

Sintra launched from near last in the $30,000 featured pace to land on the finish first in a 1:50.1 mile. The 3-5 favourite sat fifth to a :27.1 first quarter set by Rockme Rollme and stayed put to a :56 half. Points North pulled first over moving to the far turn and Jamieson tipped Sintra onto his cover coming to three-quarters in 1:23. Angling him off cover for home, Sintra surged after Rockme Rollme with a :26.3 final quarter to take the lead late and win by a half length at the beam. East End rallied for third while So Much More took fourth.

An eight-year-old gelding by Mach Three, Sintra won his fourth race from 10 starts this season and his 37th race from 89 overall, earning $1,443,067. David Menary conditions the $3.50 winner for owners Michael Guerriero, Kelly Waxman, Nunzio Vena and Frank Cirillo.

Jamieson returned to the winner’s circle in the following race after North America Cup hopeful Bulldog Hanover posted a 1:49.4 victory in the co-featured $22,000 pace. The Jack Darling-trained Shadow Play colt circled to the top from third after a :27.3 first quarter and posted middle fractions of :55.2 and 1:23.3 before the sprint for home. With Second Bruiser springing from the pocket late, Bulldog Hanover held onto control by a half length with Rhythm In Motion another three lengths behind in third.

Owned by Jack Darling Stables Ltd. and Brad Grant, Bulldog Hanover won his sixth race from nine starts, earning $341,010. He paid $3.40 to win.
