Entering undefeated in six starts this season, Sintra and driver Jody Jamieson came first-up from third on the far turn to engage leader Dr J Hanover and powered by at the head of the lane to collect a 1-3/4 length score in the C$34,000 featured event. Jimmy Freight followed Sintra’s path and finished a solid second in his 4-year-old debut. P L Jackson finished third, while Go West Go Fast was fourth.

Dr J Hanover cut the mile in his Woodbine return, posting sensible fractions of :27, :55.4 and 1:23.4. The Tony Alagna trainee faded in his first start following the trip north to finish seventh, beaten 5-1/4 lengths.

Sintra now has back-to-back victories after a layoff, which saw him move into the barn of trainer Stephanie Jamieson for the new ownership group of Michael Guerriero, Kelly Waxman, Nunzio Vena and Frank Cirillo. The 6-year-old gelding is now a 25-time winner with more than C$1.1 million in career earnings.

A $2 win ticket on Sintra returned $2.80.

Live racing resumes Monday evening at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Post time is 7:10 p.m.
