Bullish Executive Wins Valliere Cup

Fort Erie, September 10…Bullish Executive spotted the field 7 lengths at the start then exploded around the far turn to score a dramatic come from behind victory in the Don Valliere Memorial Cup at Fort Erie Sunday afternoon.

With Eddie Robinson in the irons for owner/trainer Stephen Wells, Bullish Executive chased the torrid early pace of Angel’s Wisdom (22 4/5 and 44 2/5). Angel’s Wisdom faded in the stretch to finish third, Shipman closed on the rail to finish second, two-lengths behind the winner.

The five-year-old son of Bold Executive covered the six furlongs in 1:10 flat and earned $18,000 for the win. He paid $20.10, $6.80 and $8.20.

On Saturday, jockey Monique Dionne recorded her third Cup win of the season when she guided Harvest Singing to a two-length victory in the Longshots OTB Cup.

The six-year-old daughter of Dr. Adagio opened up a three-length lead going into the far turn and was never really challenged scoring her 4th win of the season. Grab The Cat, who defeated Harvest Singing in the Golden Horseshoe Cup August 12, finished second. Promised Tour was third.

Harvest Singing, who is owned by Pat and Vern Fernandes, Vern is the conditioner, also picked up $18,000 for the win and paid $12.60, $3.40 and $2.50. She ran six furlongs in 1:10 4/5.

The “Cup Series” continue on Saturday with the running of the Coca Cola Cup, one and three sixteenth miles on the main track for fillies and mares. Sunday, colts and gelding compete at the same distance in the St. Catharines Cup.
