The trip was sweet and the end result was even sweeter for Twin B Archie who powered to another Ontario Sires Stakes Gold Series triumph Monday evening at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
The 2021 O'Brien Award finalist rode a second over trip to paydirt for the tandem of driver James MacDonald and trainer Scott McEneny.
Twin B Archie was in no hurry early as MacDonald got away fifth with the favourite. Simcoe Seelster, in the meantime, charge to the top at long odds and laid down sensible fractions of :27.1, :57.1 and 1:26.3.
Safe Conduct edged first over on the way to the half, and MacDonald nabbed second over cover at that point with Twin B Archie. Safe Conduct worked to the top in the lane, but Twin B Archie’s :27.4 closing speed was just too much for that one to handle. Twin B Archie prevailed by three-quarters of a length over Safe Conduct in 1:55. Unevergonnagethis was third.
McEneny shares ownership on the son of Archangel-Affair Hall with Domenic Chiaravalle, Floyd Marshall and Martwest Racing Stable. The victory improved his 2022 record to 5-2-0 from eight starts while his lifetime record went to 9-5-1 from 18 tries. His career bankroll now stands at a staggering $614,591.
