10 Fillies and Mares Set to Battle in Rainbow Connection
FORT ERIE,
June 04...Ten fillies and mares, including
last years winner Anne’s Purse, will break from
the gate in the $125,000 Rainbow Connection Stakes Sunday
afternoon at Fort Erie.
The five furlong
turf dash has attracted some of Ontario’s
top female sprinters competing for top prize of $75,000.
Anne’s Purse
will be making her first start of the year for trainer
Earl Barnett. The five-year-old daughter of Porto Foricos
scored a 3 ½-length win in last years
running. She has been prepping on the turf training
track at Woodbine and comes to the race off a four furlong
turf work in which she was clocked in 47 1/5 seconds.
Other runners include Bent Attorney, winner of last years
Ernie Samuel Memorial at the same distance on the turf and
Koonunga Hill, runner-up in the race last year.
Fort Erie’s
leading rider Krista Carignan will be aboard Dash it Dreamer
who is coming off a second place finish in the Ballade
Stakes at Woodbine. The Reade Baker trained daughter of
Kiridashi will be making her first turf start.
The Rainbow Connection will be the seventh race on the eight-race
program and will go to post at 4:41pm.
