2:18 pm.—$125,000 Ontario Fashion Stakes (G3) at Woodbine (TVG)

Sanity, a 5-year-old daughter of City Zip, steps up to the stakes stage in the Ontario Fashion Stakes, a six-furlong main track event.

Trained by Steven Chircop, who co-owns with Domenic Liscio, Sanity will contest her first added-money event since finishing fifth in last year's Richard R. Scherer Memorial Stakes at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots. Claimed for $62,500 this spring by Chircop, the Kentucky-bred mare has been a consistent performer throughout her career. Fashioning a record of 9-4-5 from 26 starts, Sanity went 5-1-1 in nine engagements in 2018 and is 1-1-3 over eight starts this campaign.
