Cold Creek Fuego fired off cover turning for home to become the fifth leader in the race and the streaking winner of the Harvest Series for Ontario-sired three-year-old pacing fillies at Woodbine Mohawk Park on Friday, Nov. 21.

With James MacDonald picking up the live catch-drive for trainer Daniel Walker, Cold Creek Fuego completed a sweep of the three-week series, winning the $48,400 final in 1:52.4 as the 1-9 favourite. The series was for non-winners of $30,000 in 2025 as of Sept. 30. 

Landing in seventh place early on out of post eight, Cold Creek Fuego tracked cover down the backstretch then sprinted home in :27.1 to reel in final-turn runaway leader Parkavenuejanet in the stretch.

There were three lead changes through an action-packed first three-eighths. Sunnys Girl (Travis Henry) was first to the front through a :26.4 opening quarter with the pocket-popping Betterdoubledown (Doug McNair) making a brief appearance on top before a parked-out Pick Me Up Hanover (Trevor Henry) forged ahead three-wide and cleared to command. The half went in :56.1 before Parkavenuejanet (J.R. Plante) charged to the front from mid-pack and opened up five lengths to three-quarters in 1:24.2 while Pick Me Up Hanover veered off course in the final turn. Turning for home, Cold Creek Fuego fired off her cover and went right on by a tiring Parkavenuejanet in the stretch, winning by a 1-1/4 lengths while Betterdoubledown and Sunnys Girl re-emerged for second and third.

Winning for the ninth time in 15 starts during her first year of racing, Cold Creek Fuego pushed her earnings over the $100,000 mark. Walker co-owns the homebred Sunfire Blue Chip-Tymal Black Satin filly as part of Cold Creek Standardbred of Grafton, Ont. 

The favourite paid $2.30 to win and was one of four popular winners catch-driven by MacDonald on Friday's 10-race card.
