Top 3 Woodbine Weekend Highlights (September 21-22) - Woodbine Racetrack

Cheers for Campos

Jose Campos is holding a hot hand at the Toronto oval. The journeyman’s latest impressive score came in Saturday’s $100,000 Zadracarta Stakes when he piloted Owen’s Tour Guide to victory in the five-furlong sprint over the inner turf, part of a two-win day. The 6-year-old gelding is trained by Willie Armata for owner Tequesta Racing Inc.

The daughter of Twirling Candy took the six-furlong turf race by three-quarters of a length in a time of 1:09.53. Bred by Green Lantern Stables LLC, the 3-year-old dark bay paid $9 for the win.
