Sparkle Sammy ‘never challenged’ in Woodbine score

Helen and Joe Barbazon are the breeders of Sparkle Sammy, who scored an impressive victory at Woodbine yesterday to become the 11th winner of 2018 for Poseidon’s Warrior. The 3-year-old filly went wire-to-wire under Eurico Da Silva, opening up a 3 1/2-length lead in the stretch and winning by 4 1/2 in :58.52 seconds for the five furlongs on the all-weather track. Sparkle Sammy “had command under restraint,” according to the Daily Racing Form chart, and “was never challenged.” 

It was the first start in more than five months for Sparkle Sammy, who was a $32,000 OBS June 2-year-old. Her maiden victory was worth $13,020 in Canadian funds, $10,197 U. S.
