After knocking on the door in four of his career seven starts, 3 year-old Sandy Bay broke through with a heart stopping win today in the second race at Woodbine.
Bred by Anderson Farms Ontario Inc., the Animal Kingdom gelding, is owned by Anderson Farms in partnership with Carnegie Hill Stable and trained by Catherine Day Phillips.
Jockey Emma-Jayne Wilson managed to keep his nose in front at the wire in the 1-1/16 mile $61,000 Maiden Allowance race despite Sandy Bay hesitating after taking the lead close to the wire.
This maiden breaking win brings his career stats to 1 win, 4 seconds and one third in 8 lifetime starts.
