BC homebred Shruggy Bear tracked a speedy Krissy, passing her just before the wire and held off the late surge of longshot Adelaar to win a close one, his first win, in a Maiden Special Weight for 2-year-olds going 6 furlongs at Hastings Racecourse on Thanksgiving Monday, October 8th. Shruggy Bear was ridden to victory by jockey Jose Asencio and is trained by Brian 'Spud' O'Connell. He was bred in Langley, BC by Nite and Day Stable and is owned by the breeder and Joanne Todd, both owner and breeder are in line for $5,000 bonuses. Shruggy Bear is out of the multiple stakes, including the British Columbia Oaks, winning mare Tempered Steel and by deceased stallion, Shrug.
