The Cross Country Pick 5 on Saturday, featuring racing from Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y., Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J., and Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, tallied a total pool of $87,895.50, paying out $1,437 for selecting all five winners for the 50-cent wager.

Whispering Pines started the wager by overtaking Midtown Rose in the stretch and pulling away for a 3 1/4-length victory under jockey Jose Ortiz to win the seven-furlong allowance sprint for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up in Race 7 at Belmont. Trained by Horacio DePaz, Whispering Pines, off at 9-2, returned $11.80 on a $2 win wager.

Informative, piloted by Jose Ferrer for trainer Uriah St. Lewis, was a $161.60 winner for topping the 10-horse field of 3-year-olds and up.

Conversely, the fourth leg saw the only favorite to win in the sequence, when Speightstown Shirl defeated Confident by three-quarters of a length to win the one-mile turf maiden event for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up in Woodbine's Race 8. Conditioned by Roger Attfield and ridden by Rafael Hernandez, Speightstown paid $3.70.

Closing the sequence was Fifty Sheas Ofgrey, who returned $25.40 after holding off He'spuregold by a head in the 1 1/16-mile turf maiden special weight for 3-year-olds and up in Monmouth's Race 11. The Carlos David trainee, ridden by Hector Diaz, Jr., topped the 10-horse field.

Woodbine Sees Record Handle On Its Long-Awaited Opening Day

The 2021 Thoroughbred meet kicked off on Saturday afternoon with an opening day record handle of $6.9 million at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario.

With the start of the 2021 campaign delayed nearly two months due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing provincial restrictions, horseplayers were clearly eager for the return of live racing at Woodbine Racetrack, taking advantage of strong field sizes to wager a total of $6,912,477 on the season-opening 11-race card.

The $6.9 million handle broke the previous opening day handle record of $5.5 million in 2020, which was also a delayed opening day due to the pandemic.

Woodbine's extensive wagering menu saw horseplayers flood the featured multi-leg wagers on opening day. A total of $147,660 was wagered on the Early Pick-4, $160,339 on the Late Pick-4, and $128,908 on the Early Pick-5.

The afternoon's eighth race (14-horse, mile, maiden allowance on the E.P. Taylor turf course) generated the largest single-race handle of the day at $1.1 million.

The average per race handle was $628,407.

The 2021 meet continues Sunday with a 13-race card, with a 1:20 p.m. post time. Following opening weekend, live (spectator-free) racing resumes Friday at Woodbine and continues through the weekend. The regular schedule of live racing four-days-a-week will start on Thursday, June 24.
