Woodbine Racing Community Holding Fundraiser for Fallen Rider Sheena Ryan

Fellow jockeys, exercise riders, trainers, owners, grooms and several other members of the Woodbine horse racing community will come together Monday, June 20, for the 'Backstretch Baseball Tournament' at Paul Coffey Park in Malton to raise money for jockey Sheena Ryan, who suffered serious injuries in a morning training accident in the backstretch in early May, injuries that required major surgery at Sunnybrook Hospital. The event, which includes six teams playing in the tournament, a $5 BBQ lunch, free ice cream truck, DJ Fabulous, a silent auction, and a 50/50 draw, is open to the public. The first game is at 11:30 a.m. with the championship at 4:00 p.m.

“We'd love to see people come out to see the jockeys in a much different way than they're used to seeing them,” said jockey agent Neal Wilson. “We have a large picnic area and plenty of great things for families to enjoy. It's going to be a great day and we encourage everyone to come out and join in the fun.”

The Woodbine racing community has banded together to raise funds for the popular rider, who was getting back on horses after suffering a concussion last fall. A GoFundMe was organized by fellow jockey and close friend, Isabelle Wenc.

Not This Time Filly Flies Home in Woodbine Cares S.

Dirty Dangle (Not This Time), who defeated Souper Munnings (Munnings) in a five-furlong maiden on the synthetic track Aug. 16, became the second black-type winner for her freshman sire (by Giant’s Causeway), jumping out of the ground in the final eighth of a mile to take Saturday’s Woodbine Cares S.

One of the first to break the line, the $8,000 Keeneland September yearling turned $25,000 OBS March breezer pulled a bit but came back to jockey Sheena Ryan to sit just in behind a trio of front-runners. Favored Illegal Smile (Ire) (Camacho {GB}) joined in to make a line of four off the home corner, but Ryan bided her time, angling Dirty Dangle across heels and into the clear at the eighth pole before sprinting home smartly for the victory. With the win, Not This Time, whose daughter Princess Noor took the GI Del Mar Debutante two weeks ago, joins Nyquist and Outwork as freshman sires to be represented by two stakes winners.

Dirty Dangle has a yearling half-sister by American Freedom and a foal half-sister by Mo Town. Chambray was bred to Giant’s Causeway’s paternal grandson Mor Spirit this year. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
