Sixty-five freshman trotting fillies found their way to Mohawk Racetrack for OSS Grassroots action Thursday evening, and Scott McEneny had the magic touch with his youngsters.

Heavily-favoured Its All About Sam was a handy winner in her $18,000 assignment for the duo of driver James MacDonald and trainer Scott McEneny. She was in no hurry in the early going before making a snap move to the lead shortly after the field entered the backstretch. She led the group through sensible fractions of 1:00 and 1:29.2 before turning on the jets late and finishing off her foes with a :28.3 closing quarter. She won in 1:58 over Mariana and Dewdle All Day.

The daughter of Angus Hall-Spring Lane Joanie, who was a $10,000 purchase from last year’s Harrisburg Yearling Sale, now boasts a 2-1-0 record in four tries for partners Brad Grant, Teresa Davidson and Michelle McEneny. The half-sister to Strong Hope (1:54 - $491,764) has banked $35,500 to date.

I Want Kandy gave trainer Scott McEneny and owners Brad Grant, Teresa Davidson and Michelle McEneny more OSS Grassroots hardware thanks to her 1:59.3 tally. The connections, which scored earlier with Its All About Sam, watched I Want Kandy march to the lead shortly past the quarter pole before leading through middle splits of 1:00 and 1:30.2 before kicking home in :29.1 to defeat Jangone and Favourite Mission.

The $13,000 purchase from last year’s Harrisburg Yearling Sale bumped her bankroll to $21,600 with the win.

Malibu Seelster captured her $18,000 division in 1:59 for driver Trevor Henry, who got away fourth with the youngster before brushing her to the front at the mid-way point of the mile. She cleared without a tussle and took the field to the three-quarter pole in 1:28.3 before using a :30.2 closing panel to seal the deal by a comfortable margin.

Sent off at odds of 9-2, the Dan Creighton trainee notched the maiden-breaking win for partners Rob Creighton of Strathroy, ON and Frank Gentile of Beaconsfield, QC. The daughter of Holiday Road-Must Sold Dream, who is a full-sister to the stakes-winning Meadow Seelster (1:55.4 - $114,485) was a $30,000 acquisition from the 2014 Forest City Yearling Sale.

Cadillac Sally snuck up the pylons in deep stretch to win the second division in 2:00 for Team McNair. The daughter of Muscle Mass-The Lady Money battled to the quarter pole in :29.4 before finding the front. She was confronted by a parked out Norstar Seelster in the backstretch, and that foe worked her way to the lead and supplied middle panels of :59 and 1:30 before drifting off the rail in the lane. That allowed Cadillac Sally to shoot through and post the narrow win over Norstar Seelster in 2:00. Third prize was earned by Shes All Magic.

Doug McNair mapped out the winning trip for the Gregg McNair pupil, who was pounded down to odds of 4-5 by the betting public. Jarold Hawks of Jeddo, MI owns the rookie, who was a $39,000 purchase from last year’s Lexington Select Yearling Sale.

The daughter of Kadabra-I Like Stephanie got away fourth before rushing to the lead shortly past the mid-way point.

GL Racing Inc of Port Perry, ON owns the two-time winner who was a $50,000 Harrisburg Yearling Sale purchase. She’s a full-sister to another Gary Lance trainee, Cold Certified (1:54.1 - $436,478).

Toss It Back was a wire-to-wire winner for the second consecutive start for driver Phil Hudon and trainer Pat Hunt. The filly fired to the front from Post 8 and laid down fractions of :29, :59.2 and 1:29.2 before scooting home in :29.1 for the 1:58.3 decision. Bahama Mama AS was a fast-closing second, with third prize earned by Anneli Hanover.
