Damsels Prepare To Duel

$35,000 will be up for grabs in each of two divisions Thursday night, March 12 at Woodbine Racetrack, as the opening round of the Damsel Pacing Series, for three- and four-year-old fillies and mares gets underway

.

The Three Of Us, a Mach Three mare conditioned by Bob Young, is the overwhelming morning line favourite in the first of the two splits (race #2, post time 7:49 p.m.) on the strength of her recent wire-to-wire triumph in the $54,500 final of the Ontario Girls series. Mike Saftic picks up the drive from an injured Roger Mayotte.

The second of the two Damsel splits (race #6, post time 9:05 p.m.) is a bit more of a toss-up, with Richard McNeill trainee, Windsong Experanza, going up against Designated Leader, a No Pan Intended mare sent out by Murray Brethour.

Windsong Experanza was runner-up in all three Ontario Girls events over the past month, while Designated Leader last visited the winner’s circle on February 6 in a $26,000 condition event at Woodbine. The two are rated at 5-2 and 7-2, respectively.

Catch the dueling damsels on Thursday night, and in the series second leg on March 19.
