TORONTO, December 3, 2017 – Dixie Moon closed out her juvenile campaign with an exciting victory in the $125,000 Ontario Lassie Stakes for Ontario-bred two-year-old fillies on Sunday afternoon at Woodbine.
Trained by Catherine Day Phillips for owners Sean & Dorothy Fitzhenry, Dixie Moon prevailed in a photo finish back at Woodbine for the 1-1/16 miles stakes following a trip to the Breeders’ Cup. Backed by the betting public, she was sent postward as the overwhelming favourite at odds 1-2 with Woodbine’s meet-leading jockey Eurico Rosa Da Silva aboard.
