Toronto, ON — With over two months remaining on this year’s calendar and the OSS Super Finals just weeks away, it appears that trainer Tony O’Sullivan is on pace for another career year.

After celebrating the biggest year of his career last season with C$1,436,953 in earnings, O’Sullivan will likely surpass last year’s standings. O’Sullivan has already equaled last year’s win total, sending 58 horses to the winner’s circle. The Cambridge, Ontario resident has earned C$1,294,892 this season and with the likes of Seriously and Dalhousie Dave, O’Sullivan’s goal is within reach.

Seriously, a daughter of Rocknroll Hanover, is fresh off a second place effort in a $159,000 division of the Glen Garnsey Memorial for 3-year-old pacing fillies this past Friday afternoon at The Red Mile in Lexington, Kentucky.

That filly has C$183,455 in seasonal earnings with a 1:50.2 record taken earlier this year at the Meadowlands. Owned and bred by Emerald Highlands Farm of Mount Vernon, Ohio, Seriously has been knocking heads with the best 3-year-old pacing fillies in North America this season.

O’Sullivan’s other top charge, Dalhousie Dave, has earned C$227,203 this season racing against the best Ontario sired 3-year-old pacers. The son of Astreos went unraced at two but has already posted seven victories from 15 starts this season.

Owned by Jim and John Fielding of Toronto, Ontario, Dalhousie Dave is currently positioned fourth in the OSS standings en route to the OSS Super Finals on November 13 at Woodbine Racetrack.

O’Sullivan discusses both charges in today’s interview with WEG’s media department. To view the video on the Woodbine Entertainment website, click here.
