Toronto, ON — A pair of C$20,000 Lifetime Dream series divisions highlighted the Thursday evening (April 18) program at Woodbine with One More Ginny and Sheer Glide finding the wire first in their respective tilts.

In her first start of the season, One More Ginny (Mario Baillargeon) converted off a terrific second-over trip to upset heavily favored Kendra Hanover (Rick Zeron) in the first division.

Kendra Hanover brushed to command in the early going, leading her seven rivals to the opening station in :28.3. Zeron would continue to guide the trotting miss past the midway point in :59.3. Can I Say (Garrett Whelan) was the first-over attacker with One More Ginny perfectly positioned on her helmet as Can I Say and Kendra Hanover duked it out past three-quarters in 1:27.1.

Turning for home, Kendra Hanover fought off the challenge from Can I Say, but began to tire as One More Ginny was given open road and responded to score the win. Kendra Hanover stayed for second, over Majestic Taglet (Mike Saftic).

Trained by Ben Baillargeon and owned by Kor Stable Ltd., One More Ginny increased her bankroll to $172,746. She paid $5.10 to win as the second choice.

In the second division, Sheer Glide scored her ninth career tally as she found the wire first in 1:54.4 for trainer/driver Rick Zeron.

The daughter of Yankee Glide marched to the front from post three, but allowed Stormont Fried (Mike Saftic) to lead past the first quarter in :27.1. Zeron wasted little time as he angled Sheer Glide back to the front to lead her seven rivals past the half in :57 and three-quarters in 1:26.2.

Turning for home, Sheer Glide opened up on her rivals, but Intense America, who was boxed in, found racing room and was closing in on the tempo-setter. In deep stretch, Intense America ran out of real estate as Sheer Glide found the line first. Daylon Miracle (Dave Wall) completed the triactor.

Coyote Wynd Farms owns the miss who now has $169,541 in career earnings. She paid $6.40 to win as the second choice.
