In capturing the best offering, Crataegus, was ably ridden by Pat Remillard, Canadas leading rider. Remillard. was content to stay behind the fast early pace established by Gene D., Happy Find and Sue Jones, and it was not until making the last turn that he called on the Badame colorbearer for his best.
