JUNE 2022 THE RIDER /45 Bogar Farms Hope Heart of the Sun Shines at Ajax Downs on June 8


AJAX DOWNS JUNE 7, 2022 - Ontario Quarter Horse racing continues at Ajax Downs this Wednes- day, June 8, and a number of entrants on the card are lightly raced 3-year-olds who have their connections excited about their future. One of those is the big and flashy gelding HEART OF THE SUN, an Ontario bred who figures to be favoured in the day’s featured race 4, a $12,000 maiden allowance dash at 300 yards. Named by owner and


breeder James Bogar of Cameron, ON for a song by Pink Floyd, Heart of the Sun was a fast-finishing third in his career debut on May 18 at 250 yards with Tony Phillips riding. “He put forth a good


effort, did everything right, and showed talent,” said Bogar. “We were pleased with the outcome.” Trained by Barry


Wood, Heart of the Sun did not race as a 2-year-old as he was so big. “His barn name is Moose,” said Bogar, who began expand- ing his Quarter Horse inter- ests about four years ago and was Ajax Downs’ top owner in 2019. Bogar bred his mare A


Leading Memory, who won the 2009 Princess Derby for Erik and Joyce Lehtinen, to the top American stallion Kiss My Hocks in 2019 to get Heart of the Sun. Kiss My Hocks is currently 10th in North America on the leading Quarter Horse sire list.
