August 20, 2023 - The $100,000 Honourable Earl
Rowe Memorial Trot headlined Sunday (Aug. 20) evening's harness racing
card at Georgian Downs and millionaire Free For Aller Fashion Frenzie
honoured his role as the race favourite with a three-length achievement.
A dense field of talent went to the gate in the evening's feature race
with eight trotters lined up on the wings. Longshot Franks Angel (Jason
Ryan) secured the early lead, followed by favoured Fashion Frenzie
(Louis-Philippe Roy), while three went off stride around the first turn.
Franks Angel took his competitors to the first panel in :27 before Fashion
Frenzie popped out and went around to take command. Fashion Frenzie
clicked out two more panels in :56.2 and 1:25 before using a :28 last
quarter to win by three-lengths in 1:53. Oney Hall (Trevor Henry) took
second and Warrawee Xenia (Bob McClure) rounded out the top three.
Richard Moreau trains the career winner of $1,085,431 from a record of
22-5-0 in 34 starts for the ownership group of Ecurie Francis Richard
Inc., Mario Bourgea, Pierre Guillemette, and Sylvain Richard. This season,
the five-year-old Archangel-Striking Fashion gelding has posted a record
of 4-2-0 in six starts with $129,500 banked. Fashion Frenzie paid $2.50 to
win.

August 8, 2023 - Georgian Downs hosted the third
leg of the Ontario Sires Stakes Gold Series for freshman trotters on
Tuesday (Aug. 8) evening and Willys Home Run continued her series sweep
with an open lengths victory in the $100,400 division for two-year-old
fillies.
James MacDonald sent Willys Home Run out of post three and
to the top. Separating herself from her competitors through every panel,
Willys Home Run posted fractions in :29.3, :59.1, and 1:28 before winning
by 4-1/4 lengths in 1:56.1. Classy Royale (Jody Jamieson) finished second
and Valuable Miss (Trevor Henry) was third.
“It was the two best
fillies in the division so far, Jody’s filly, and mine,” MacDonald told
Ontario Racing. “Ideally I wanted to be forwardly placed, or ahead of Jody
if I could, and just in a spot where I could get a chance to race her, and
let her be great, and it worked out tonight.”
Kyle Fellows trains
Willys Home Run for the partnership of Dr. Sara Gatchell, Jake and Reg
Higgs, and Yolanda Fellows. In four starts, the daughter of Archangel-Rite
Outa The Park has now moved her career earnings to $157,300 to go along
with a record of 3-1-0. She paid $3.20 to win.

July 30, 2023 - Fresh off a Gold Series win in
his mid-July career debut, two-year-old trotter Indy Be Quick dropped down
to the Grassroots level for an easy victory in the second leg of the
Ontario Sires Stakes on Sunday, July 30 at Georgian Downs.
Indy Be
Quick won the first of four $21,800 Grassroots divisions for two-year-old
trotting colts and geldings, leading wire-to-wire in 1:59.2 with Sylvain
Filion in the bike.
After crossing to command off the gate from
the outermost post, Indy Be Quick carved out fractions of :30.1, 1:00.1
and 1:30.1 then stepped away from the competition off the final turn with
a :29.1 closing kick. Devils Kiss followed the 1-5 favourite nearly five
lengths behind from the pocket while Looks Like Amuscle finished back in
third.
Ben Baillargeon trains and co-owns the Alarm Detector-Im A
