FIVE JOCKEYS SHARE THE WEALTH ON SUNDAY 

After winning five of eight races on Saturday jockey Larris  Allen shared the wealth on Sunday, July 13 at The Horses At Evergreen Park.

The veteran reinsman did win once, but this time five jockeys ended up in the winner’s circle over the eight races.

Trevor Simpson, Andrew Poon and Jose Rocha all had two wins and  O’Shane Nugent joined Allen with a single win.

Simpson thought he had his second win of the day in Race 6 – Leg 1 of the Sprint Series – but his horse, Crown Ruler, was disqualified after an objection from Saburo’s Grace’s team.

That upheld objection gave Rocha and El Dorado Storm the win placing Saburo’s Grace in second.

The race purse was $10,900 with $7,961 of that going to the winner and $2,070 to second. The race was over 5 ½ furlongs and was for three year olds and up.

Allen’s Sunday victory was in the 5 1/5 furlong Leg 1 of the Distaff Series for fillies and mares in Race 5.

He was sitting on Jacrodra’s Devil in that race finishing ahead of Rocha and Ko Olina.

Of the $10,750 purse $5,697 went to winning owner Lyle Magnuson while Ko Olina’s owner Laurie Ferguson walked off with $$2,041.

The biggest story so far after three days of racing is the handle.

On Sunday $124,711 was wagered, bringing the three-day total to $374,672.

Racing continues July 19-20 with Sunday featuring the Wiener Dog Derby Presented By Ovintiv.

Betting kiosks are offered both outside and inside in the MNP Concourse and there is beverage station and large hospitality tent between the Gordon Badger Stadium and the paddock.

WIENER DOG DERBY GOES SUNDAY, JULY 20

For a day each year Evergreen Park becomes Evergreen Bark!

And for good reason.

The dogs take over the Park, er, Bark, at the annual Wiener Dog Derby Presented By Ovintiv.

Is there anything cuter than a short-legged little mutt swimming through the dirt at J.D.A. Raceway?

We think not!
