Published: September 6, 2022 10:43 pm EDT

Two-year-old trotting fillies marched their way to Woodbine Mohawk Park for a set of Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots divisions Tuesday evening, with Lucy Who and Divinne Magic capturing their respective $21,800 divisions for driver Trevor Henry.

Lucy Who wasted no time for Henry who hustled the Julie Walker trainee to the lead from Post 6.  The daughter of Wheeling N Dealin sliced out splits of :27.3, :58.4 and 1:29.2 before kicking home in :28.2 to win by five lengths over No Angel Like Me in 1:57.4.  Its Sally Deal rallied to finish third.       

Sent off as the 1-9 favourite, Lucy Who improved her 2022 record to 4-1-0 from six starts with the victory.  Bred and owned by Murray Bradshaw of Wilsonville, Ont., the rookie lifted her lifetime earnings to $46,000 with the victory.

Divinne Magic celebrated a maiden-breaking triumph in the second division thanks to her rallying score at odds of 11-1.

Henry got away fourth with the Keith Jones trainee while Smashin Racquets blasted to the top and had the field chasing her past the quarter pole in :29.  Race favourite Angeliki, who broke behind the gate, rushed to the lead in the backstretch and was on top while racing parked past the half in :59.3.

She was still in command at the three-quarter pole in 1:29.2, but she weakened late and that left the door wide-open for an upsetter.  Divinne Magic tipped out in the backstretch to track cover, and turning for home she managed to kick out a :29.4 closing panel en route to posting the neck decision over Sweet Carrie T in 1:59.4.  Dealin Fashion was third.       

The daughter of Muscle Mass-Magic Meds now owns a 1-1-0 record from four starts for partners Maggie Jones, Susan Heard, Jody Simmons and Philip Newfeld.  The lion’s share of the purse boosted her earnings to $18,110.
