In other stakes action, Artie's Storm took the $101,200 Steady Growth, for three-year-olds and upward, contested at 1 1/16-miles on the Tapeta at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario.
It was the second straight stakes score for the dark bay son of We Miss Artie-Tiz Stormy Now, who came into the Steady Growth off a victory in the Lake Ontario Stakes on November 19.
“He's a lovely horse,” said winning rider David Moran. “He always tries. He's been running in tough races all year. Back-to-back stakes for him and he won going away today. I was afraid I was having to move a little soon, they went quick up front, and I just wanted to get out from behind that wall before they stopped, and he picked up and ran right through the wire.”
The winning margin was 1 ¼-lengths. Full Extreme was second, and Magical Man finished third. Argentium was scratched.
The final time was 1:44.04.
Owned and trained by Paul Buttigieg, Artie's Storm, bred by Sunrise Farm, is now 4-2-3 from 10 starts.
He paid $7.20 for the win.
Live racing resumes tomorrow – Sunday is the final day of the 2021 Woodbine Thoroughbred meet – with the first post at 12:55 p.m. The feature is the Grade 3 Valedictory Stakes.
