Toronto, ON — Having delivered a decisive victory in last week’s Ontario Sired Autumn Series elimination for 3-year-old trotting fillies, Mojo N The Morning is revving her motor to wrap up the OSAS series in the C$46,600 final on Thursday night (Dec. 18) at Woodbine.

Mojo N The Morning is the 8-5 morning line favorite in the OSAS final.

The homebred daughter of Angus Hall has a prime post position (number two) with which to improve on her record of 3-3-4 in 18 starts for trainer Frank Colville and owner Joanne Colville.

But though she’s ranked the 8-5 first choice in the morning line, she will have to defeat fellow elim winner Frenchfrysnvinegar to get the job done — and in many respects the two are evenly matched, right down to their shared sire.

David Smith co-owns and trains Frenchfrysnvinegar and has coaxed her to a record of 3-3-3 in 17 starts. Furthermore, both fillies have earned just over C$50,000 — though a win on Thursday evening will widen the gap between them earnings-wise.

The last time the siblings locked horns, on October 23 at Woodbine, Mojo N The Morning prevailed, with Frenchfrysnvinegar third.

Frenchfrysnvinegar, who’s the 2-1 second choice, has drawn post four in the 10-filly field, and will have Paul MacDonell in the bike to guide her, while Jack Moiseyev will take the lines for Mojo N The Morning.

Catch the final event in the Ontario Sired Autumn Series on Thursday night at Woodbine; it’s race five, post time 8:46 p.m. (EST).
