Sir For Sure (Sligo Bay {Ire}), a 3-year-old gelding, was the top earning Ontario Sired runner in 2022, earning his connections $25,000 from the Ontario Racing's Thoroughbred Improvement Program, which annually distributes $200,000 to breeders through its Ontario Sired Reward of Excellence Program.
The three highest worldwide earners in four categories, 2-year-old males and females and 3-year-old males and females, will receive $25,000 for first, $15,000 for second, and $10,000 for third. USD and CAD earnings are considered.
Rounding out the male category for leading 2-year-old colt was Phillip My Dear Silent Name (Jpn). Strega (Silent Name {Jpn}) earned top honors as the 3-year-old filly, while Anam Cara (Frac Daddy) led all 2-year-old females.
“We are so appreciative of the Ontario Sired Program,” said Sir For Sure's breeder, Rene Hunderup. “It keeps us in the breeding business, and encourages us to continuously improve our breeding program.”
