Jockey Luis Contreras guides Avie's Flatter to victory in the Grade 2 Connaught Cup Stakes at Woodbine.
Avie's Flatter notched his second win in two starts in 2021 with his victory in the Grade 2 Connaught Cup at Woodbine Race Course. On a good turf course at the Toronto, Ontario track, the Josie Carroll trainee sat behind the pacesetters and waited for the stretch to accelerate to win the seven-furlong stakes race.
Breaking from the rail, jockey Luis Contreras positioned Avie's Flatter third behind front runners Silent Post, the 2020 Connaught Cup winner, and Chuck Willis. On the backstretch, Avie's Flatter maintained his position in the rail, while the two leaders set fractions of :23.46 for the first quarter and then :46.18 for the first half.
