Brattothecore, making only her second start in Sunday's $160,200 Ontario Lassie Stakes at Woodbine, made a strong move on the final turn to capture the 1 1/16-mile juvenile test for fillies by 2 1/4 lengths. With jockey Jake Barton in the irons, the chestnut daughter of Katahaula County was allowed to relax in the early going. After a half mile, Deputy Cures Blues and race favorite Santerra pulled away from the rest of the field, racing in their own match-race six lengths ahead of their rivals. Around the far turn, Barton let Brattothecore unleash a spirited run. Driving three-wide to the top of the stretch, Brattothecore went on to win in 1:47.80 over a track rated fast. "Today she was really feeling good and on her game and I thought Jake did a great job sitting back behind that fast pace, and really picked her up down the lane when the real running began," said trainer John Ross.
