The 5-year- old homebred daughter of Ocala Stud stallion Adios Charlie and Rooney Doodle, by Lit de Justice now boasts a career record read- ing 15 wins from 21 starts and more than $680,000 in purse earn- ings. Moran, who is a father of nine children with his wife Maria expecting in the coming weeks, took a moment after winning the first graded stakes of the meet to thank his kids for their Father’s Day cards and gifts and give a shout out to his own dad back home in Ireland. He also went on to dedicate the race to a special horseman. “I want to give a special mention today to Frank Forde—the backbone of horse racing here at Woodbine, one of the grooms— who passed away suddenly last week,” Moran said. “I’d like to dedicate this race to him.”
Hard work pays off for Hoyte
Jason Hoyte, a longtime respected exercise rider at Woodbine, celebrated his first Canadian win as he guided the 3-year-old filly French Charm ($3.30) to a maiden-breaking score in the Sunday opener. The daughter of Commissioner overtook longshot leader Classy n’ Silent down the stretch and held off Anita Grigio at the end of the five- and-a-half-furlong contest to win in 1:06.18 for trainer Ricky Griffith and owners Steve Duffield and Racing Canada Inc. “It means so much to me. It’s just a blessing come true. Hard work does pay off,” Hoyte said of his first Woodbine win. Hoyte began his race riding career in Barbados back in 2000, winning his first race Jason Hoyte/BURNS PHOTO with Tikashar at the Garrison Savannah racetrack. He arrived in Canada in 2004 and started gal- loping horses for Steve Owens then became the go-to morning rider for Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse for 16 years, breezing some of the biggest stars of the sport in preparation for the biggest races including the likes of Hall of Famers Tepin and Sealy Hill. Hoyte, who was inspired by his friend and fellow jockey Keveh Nicholls to return to racing action, made just his 13th start a win- ning one. Live thoroughbred racing continues, without spectators, on Thursday, featuring the season’s debut of sprint sensation Pink Lloyd in the $125,000 Jacques Cartier Stakes (Grade 3). First post time is 3:45 p.m. ET.

BY SANTA ANITA PRESS OFFICE______ARCADIA, CA—Third in the race a year ago, Red King took cen- ter stage in the 81st renewal of the $100,000 San Juan Capistrano Stakes (Grade 3) on Sunday at Santa Anita, as he forged by odds on favorite Ward ’n Jerry at the top of the stretch en route to an impressive four-and-a-quarter-length win under Umberto Rispoli. Trained by Phil D’Amato, Red King, a 6-year-old horse by English Channel, navigated the marathon mile-and-three-quarters on turf in 2:46.67.

BY SANTA ANITA PRESS OFFICE ______ARCADIA, CA—After a brief head and head tussle for early supremacy, the Victor Garcia- trained Big Runnuer gained the advantage three furlongs out and never relinquished it, prevailing by a length-and-one-quarter in Sunday’s $75,000 Siren Lure Stakes at Santa Anita. Ridden by Ruben Fuentes, the 5-year- old horse by Stormy Atlantic got five-and-a- half furlongs on turf in 1:01.05. With an avalanche of late money coming his way, Big Runnuer broke alertly from post position two and immediately engaged long- shot Torosay, who broke from the rail. Head and head through a blistering opening quarter- mile of :21.28, Big Runnuer enjoyed a half- length edge at that point and widened around the turn as morning line favorite Sparky Ville, who had laid third early, could make no impact on the top two, leaving the winner with a two- and-a-half-length cushion at the top of the Big Runnuer/BENOIT PHOTO lane.
