First time
horse owners win again with the ‘Eagle’
AJAX DOWNS, JUNE 23, 2019 - Own- ing a racehorse is fun, just ask any one of the more than one dozen owners of EYE AM THE EAGLE who won for the sec- ond time in three races this year on a sun- drenched Sunday afternoon at Ajax Downs on Sunday. The First Line Racing Syndicate,
predominantly made up of first time racehorse owners, crammed the winner’s circle when their bay 4-year-old gelding won the day’s sixth race under jockey Ramiro Castillo. Eye Am the Eagle is the second
horse to race for First Line Racing, a syn- dicate formed in 2016 by the Quarter Racing Owners of Ontario and trainer Bob Broadstock. Up to 20 shares are of- fered in a Quarter Horse and in its fledg- ling years, the syndicate has been a rousing success. “This is a lot of fun,” said Lenny
MacDonald, whose wife Leigh is expe- riencing horse ownership for the first time. “He’s a nice horse and, hey. you got to keep the industry going and if you don’t get involved, it doesn’t go.” Eye Am the Eagle has won over
$16,000 in his three starts this season for the syndicate. Castillo won two of the six races at
Ajax on Sunday to jump into a tie for second place for leading rider with Regan Knowles. Both chase Tony Phillips who also had two victories on the card. PLEASE NOTE: Ajax Downs
races on CANADA DAY, Monday JULY 1 (instead of its usual Sunday racing day) next week with an earlier post time of 12;30 p.m. There will be plenty of activ- ities and giveaways during the racing card followed by entertainment and fire- works. Follow Ajax Downs on Twitter
