WINDSOR, ON — The aptly named Constance Hall and her three-year-old trotting filly peers will invade Windsor Raceway on Sunday evening in a pair of $53,000 Gold Eliminations.

For the past two seasons, Constance Hall has been a steady player on the Gold Series circuit, and trainer Bob McIntosh hopes the filly can maintain her momentum through the last regular season event of her career and the Nov. 10 Super Final.

“She’s been steady, she’s honest,” says the LaSalle resident. “She maybe didn’t improve as much from two to three as I would have hoped, but she’s still been a good, honest filly.”

At two Constance Hall posted a record of three wins, three seconds and four thirds in 15 starts, for earnings of $209,286. While she has yet to find her way back to the winner’s circle this season, the daughter of Striking Sahbra and Canland Hall has never missed a Gold Final and has earned a pay cheque in all but four of her 13 starts.

“She has to be a little lucky and get a good trip, but she usually gets a piece of it,” notes McIntosh, who trains the filly for breeder Walnut Hall Limited of Lexington, KY. “Last year she piled up some money because she was very honest and didn’t make many mistakes.”

Jack Moiseyev will pilot Constance Hall from Post 6 in the second elimination on Sunday, facing off against reigning Gold Final champion Brigham Dream, who will benefit from Post 1, and former Gold Final winner Movin Over, who gets Post 2. While McIntosh says the filly has some step off the starting gate, he would prefer to see Moiseyev carve out a trip along the rail and then sweep home in the stretch.

“She can leave a bit if you want to crank her up,” says the Hall of Fame horseman and three-time winner of the Ontario Sires Stakes leading trainer award. “She’s a dream to drive, you can pretty well do whatever you want with her, but she’s got to catch a bit of a trip. She can’t rough it out for long.”

Once her Ontario Sires Stakes career wraps up, Constance Hall will head back to Kentucky to begin her broodmare career, and McIntosh is confident she will prove to be as steady there as she has been on the racetrack. The daughter of $339,143 winner Canland Hall — who is a sister to $2.1 million superstar Cameron Hall — is the only filly her dam has produced to date. Her full brother Campbell Hall earned $251,834, and her half-brother Cantab Hall accumulated $1.5 million.

The regally bred filly will be looking for the winner’s circle in Race 4 on Sunday, with the other Gold Elimination slated for Race 2. Windsor Raceway sends its first race into the starter’s hands at 7 pm.
