Erinwood Yves Captures The Battle Of Waterloo Elim.
July 26, 2021
Erinwood Yves ($4.80) rode the pocket and rolled up the open stretch to capture the other Waterloo elimination in 1:55.1 at Grand River Raceway, breaking his maiden in the act. Jody Jamieson situated the son of State Treasurer and Zayra Bayama behind early pacesetter Century Inspector (Moore) through a :27.4 first quarter, and the pair remained glued on Century Inspector's helmet through middle fractions of :57.1 and 1:26.3. Despite being boxed in by the first-over Ron (Roy) through the second circuit, Erinwood Yves was able to accelerate quickly enough up the open stretch to find the winning post in time, collaring Century Inspector by a head in 1:55.1. Ron finished third, three lengths behind; Sports Box (Trevor Henry) was fourth despite failing to sustain a three-wide bid on the home turn.
Gabriella Sasso trains Erinwood Yves, who had previously finished second and third in two Gold events, for Erinwood Equine Inc., Jeffrey Courchesne and the Martwest Racing Stable.

Each division carried a $95,000 purse. Northern Looker posted the swiftest time with a 1:54 victory in his eight horse division. Trevor Henry eased the Camilla Christoforou student out of post five and into fourth position off the car and into the first turn. Passing the :27.4 quarter, Northern Looker sat idly as the field shuffled around him. Northern Looker 'looked' on as he gained position in third through the :57.1 half. After the half mile marker, Henry made his move. Northern Looker achieved second from the outside on his first over journey by the time the three-quarters was reached in 1:26. With a :27.4 final panel, Northern Looker gained an advantage on the field to win by 1-1/4 lengths in 1:54. Finite (Louis-Philippe Roy) was second with What About Elmo (Tyler Jones) third.
