Ontario-Sired, Jimbelina, Victorious In The Niagara Series Final

The Niagara Series final for three-year-old pacing fillies at Woodbine saw Jimbelina complete a sweep of the series by scoring a four-length victory in Monday’s $33,400 final.

The Rene Bourassa trainee was fired out of the 10-hole and directly to the front by driver Sylvain Filion. It was lights out from there, as Jimbelina scooted around the sloppy oval for an easy 1:57 victory.

Owned by Roland Trudel, Jimbelina is now a 10-time winner this season following her Niagara victory. The Big Jim filly improved her record to 10 wins in 19 starts and her seasonal earnings to $70,580 with Monday’s score. Jimbelina paid $3.30 to win.

Three-year-olds that were non-winners of $60,000 lifetime as of Oct. 31, 2016 were eligible for nomination to the Valedictory and Niagara Series.

Monday’s Boxing Day card was the final card of live racing at Woodbine for 2016. Live racing resumes Saturday, Jan. 7, 2017 at 7:30 p.m.
