Nordland Wins by Nose in Nine Furlong Woodbine Race
Nordland led all the way and saved just enough to beat fast-finishing Rushton's Corsair by a nose. Butterbump ran third after a late course blockage. Time for the mile and one eighth was unimpressive though the track was fast. Greek Answer set a Woodbine five and a half furlong record equal to the Canadian standard. Ron Turcotte had a solid Toronto trip with Hose winning the My Dear Stakes for two-year-old fillies, owned by Roxie Gian of Buffalo.
