The full menu of Grand Circuit stakes action on Saturday at Woodbine Mohawk Park included the Nassagaweya and Eternal Camnation Stakes. A NASSAGAWEYA SWEEP Rookie pacing colts owned by 3 Brothers Stables and Caviart Farms captured both of the Nassagaweya Stakes divisions in impressive fashion. The C$127,650 first section saw Captain Batboy and Tim Tetrick with the early lead, and they sped by the opening quarter in 26 3/5. The heavy favorite, Save America, took over just past that point and hit the half in a sensible 56 1/5 for Yannick Gingras. Save America picked up the pace through three-quarters in 1:24 3/5, and could not be caught down the stretch, hitting the wire in 1:51 4/5. Captain Batboy stayed tight on the cones to take second while Ontario-sired Write Me A Rose was third for Sylvain Filion. It was the second win in just three starts this year for Save America. Tonight marked his first start since his impressive 1:49 4/5 victory in the Kindergarten Series on August 4 at the Meadowlands, but trainer Nancy Takter wasn't too concerned about the time between races. "He had a little time off before the Kindergarten too, so I had that in the back of my mind that he would be okay," she said. "I trained him about 10 days ago, a mile in 1:55 at the farm, and he was very good. He had a lot of foundation and conditioning, so I wasn't super concerned. Obviously race speed and training speed are different, but he did well tonight. "He's a very honest colt, he always gives everything he has. He's a professional and I'm happy with him," she said of the colt who will remain in Ontario for the next few weeks to compete in the Champlain and Metro. Saturday's effort put Save America's purse earnings over C$76,000 on the year. The son of Captaintreacherous was bred by Fred Hertrich and sold for $300,000 at last year's Harrisburg sale. He is a half-brother to Stag Party, a winner of C$962,000 in his career and a winner of a Nassagaweya division in 2018 by an impressive 10 lengths. His half-sister is C$594,000 winner Hen Party. In the C$128,650 second flight it was Ace Of Aces grabbing early control for James MacDonald. That pair were by the opener in 27 2/5, and just past that point, pocket-sitter and favorite Huntinthelastdolar took over. Before the 56 3/5 half was reached, Tickertape Hanover flew up quickly for Dexter Dunn to grab the first position. That quick colt rolled through the three-quarters in 1:24 and pulled away from his rivals down the stretch to win in 1:51 2/5. Ace Of Aces was second, followed by Stormalong and Huntinthelastdolar. Bred by Hanover Shoe Farms, Tickertape Hanover was a $160,000 purchase at Harrisburg. Tonight's effort was an impressive maiden-breaking performance for the son of Huntsville who was making his fifth official start for trainer Linda Toscano. Scott Zeron drove Tickertape Hanover at the start of the year, including three baby races, but he has been on the sidelines since an accident in July, and Dunn made sure to give a shout out to the popular driver prior to talking about the trip and the rookie pacer. "Quick shout out to Scotty – (Tickertape's) a beautiful colt; if you look at him physically he's very strong. When you sit behind him he gives you that feeling of power," noted Dunn, who was obviously pleased with the trip. "I was pretty happy where I was. I took a shot and made a move. He's the type of colt that once I got him rolling in top gear he carried it a long way." "He was a big, growthy colt; it took a little longer to get him going, but he did everything I asked him to do," explained Toscano. "Scotty laid a great foundation, and I'm glad to break his maiden. I've been under no pressure whatsoever by the owners; they're thinking toward the end of the year, and he's come into it perfectly. I'm going to take him home tomorrow and bring him back for the Metro." ► Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter BIG EFFORTS IN ETERNAL CAMNATION SPLITS The Eternal Camnation Stakes for 2-year-old pacing fillies saw a pair of splits contested. Bankers Luck and driver Doug McNair Luck rallied from a second-over position to win the C$118,150 first division in 1:52 1/5. The Tony Alagna trainee had been forwardly-placed in her prior starts, but made things work with the off-the-pace trip for her third win in six starts. Treacherous Penny moved to the lead in the second quarter and posted solid panels of 55 3/5 and 1:23 1/5 to bring the field into the stretch. The leader couldn't hang on and dropped back to finish third. Bankers Luck powered by all rivals for the score, while Windsun Tiara also finished up well to grab second, beaten just a neck. A daughter of He's Watching, Bankers Luck has now earned C$115,748 for owner/breeder Brittany Farms. A $2 win ticket on Bankers Luck returned $6.80. Sylvia Hanover edged a game Caviart Davia in a thrilling finish to the C$117,150 second grouping. Driven by Bob McClure, Sylvia Hanover got away fourth and would march first-up on the final turn. Tony Alagna trainees Bellisima Hanover and Caviart Davia exchanged the lead around the half, which popped up in 55 2/5. Caviart Davia then led down to three-quarters in 1:23 1/5. In the stretch, Sylvia Hanover overtook the leader, but Caviart Davia gave her a fight. The fillies battled down to the wire, with Sylvia Hanover winning by a head. Bellisima Hanover finished third.
