Odds-on choice Lukes Bar grabbed the lead moving past the half and coasted to a 1:56.1 win in the $90,500 Millard Farms Final on Thursday night (Aug. 4) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Driver James MacDonald floated away fourth while Craft Made fought for the lead to a :28.4 first quarter with Jokic challenging. MacDonald then motored Lukes Bar for the front passing a :58.4 half and cruised to three-quarters in 1:27.2 while kicking four lengths clear into the stretch. Ghostly Caper closed off cover to snag second by 2-1/4 lengths with Southwind Coors rallying for third and Jokic settled for fourth.

Tactical Planner pulled a large upset as the longest shot on the board in the $80,500 Pure Ivory Final later in the card.

Shiny New Penny pushed for the lead to a :27.3 first quarter but yielded to Silly Me Hanover as she, the 1-5 favourite, swept to the top before a :57.1 half. Shesundertheradar moved first over to the far turn while Tyler Jones caught cover with Tactical Planner to race third over to three-quarters in 1:27.2. With Silly Me Hanover shortening stride, the field stacked coming for the finish with Tactical Planner towering off cover and landing at the beam a half-length better than Warrawee Yes surging late at 33-1 for second.

The Tony Alagna-trained daughter of Hes Watching soared to the top after a :28 first quarter and cruised to a :56.2 half under no pressure. Treacherous Penny mounted a first-over bid to three-quarters in 1:25 but stalled in the sprint for home where Bankers Luck stood her ground and kept 1-1/4 lengths in front of surging Sylvia Hanover, who settled for second as the 7-5 favourite. Treacherous Penny took third and Always B Star rode the pocket to finish fourth.

A homebred for Brittany Farms, Bankers Luck has earned $44,548 and collected her third win from five starts. Doug McNair drove the $10.20 winner.
