Quebec Series Headlines Sunday Card

The $250,000 Quebec-Bred Series for three-year-old pacers gets underway at the Hippodrome 3R on Sunday with three opening round divisions.

This series takes place throughout the month of July and then the top eight point-earners return for the $65,000 finals on Sunday, September 6.

Headlining the first of two filly divisions in the third race is the seasonable debut of Kinnder Elegance from post six for driver Justin Filion. This lightly raced daughter of Allamerican Native made only three starts last year as a two-year-old, but she won two of those starts that were both in this same series, the fastest a lifetime-best 1:57.4.

Trained, owned and bred by Denitza Petrova of Les Cedres, Que., Kinnder Elegance prepped for her debut with a qualifying win at 3R in 2:00.2.

Other contenders include HP Rubis Joyce (post five) and No Panic (post two).

The colts do battle in the fifth race with Sugarsam in post seven the early favourite for driver Denis St Pierre. This gelded son of Sportswriter is the fastest horse in the field, shipping in after competing in stakes action at Mohawk Racetrack, winning two starts back in a blazing 1:52 for trainer Helene Filion.

Also starting from the outside is Killer Thriller in post eight for driver Sylvain Lacaille, who has been in the money the last four weeks. And there is a three-horse entry of HP Rayan Art Jules (post one), SOS Justified (post two) and HP Black Shadow (post nine).

The second filly division is the sixth race and the overwhelming favourite is Voodoo Charm from post seven for driver Mario Charron and trainer Maxime Velaye. This daughter of Ponder just posted her lifetime mark last start at Mohawk Racetrack with a three and one-half length triumph in 1:53.4.

Voodoo Charm will be put to the test against contenders Miss Bro (post six) and Big Bertha (post four).

First race post time Sunday is 1:30 p.m.
