Multiple stakes winning trotting mare Her Name Is Lola will make her first start at her home track of Kawartha Downs in four years this Saturday night.
The six-year-old began her racing career at Kawartha on June 28, 2012 when she won an Ontario Sires Stakes Gold elimination. It was the first lifetime start for the two-year-old who was driven by Paul MacDonell for local trainer John Bax.
The following week Her Name Is Lola returned to KD for the $130,000 final, where she finished fifth, and that was the last time she raced at the Fraserville oval. She has qualified over Kawartha’s five-eighths mile oval many times over the subsequent years, but not raced.
Local fans will have an opportunity to see her in action Saturday night in Race 6 where she has drawn Post 8. Russell Bax of Port Hope, John’s brother, purchased the daughter of Majestic Son at the end of her three-year-old season and handles her training as well.
Saturday’s outing will be the first 2016 start for the winner of $173,000 in her career to date. Doug Hie has been assigned the drive.
First-race post time Saturday night is 7 p.m.
