The 24th annual Battle Of Waterloo and 13th annual Battle Of The Belles will be contested for estimated purses of $240,000 and $160,000, respectively. Elimination dashes will be contested on Monday, July 26 starting at 6:30 p.m. (EDT).
Drivers Jody Jamieson and Trevor Henry each won a trio of races on the Tuesday (July 20) program at Woodbine Mohawk Park, and two of their wins came in two-year-old pacing filly Grassroots action.
Jamieson opened the program with an effortless score behind Motovation in the first $22,500 Grassroots division. Starting from post 1 with the favourite, Jamieson allowed Motovation to settle briefly in third before taking command heading for the :58 half. Comfortably in front past the 1:27.4 three-quarters, Motovation pulled away to a two and three-quarter length victory in 1:56.4. Bikini Genie finished second and Straight Talker was third.
“Motovation had a win already and she was very handy again tonight,” said Jamieson.
