On the Menu first winner for Canadian Frontier
On the Menu gained command on the turn and earned a half-length debut win in the first race on Sunday at Delaware Park to become the first winner for Grade 3 winner and freshman sire Canadian Frontier.
A Brereton Jones homebred trained by Larry Jones, On the Menu won the six-furlong maiden special weight race in 1:11.21 on a track rated as fast. On the Menu is the first starter out of the unraced Mazel Trick mare Don’t Trick Her.
Canadian Frontier, a half brother to Grade 3 winner Seeking Slew, stood the 2008 breeding season for $7,500 at Brereton Jones’s Airdrie Stud in Midway, Kentucky. A nine-year-old by Gone West out of multiple graded stakes winner Borodislew, by Seattle Slew, Canadian Frontier has 41 two-year-olds in his first crop.
Canadian Frontier concluded his three-year racing career in 2004 with six wins in 13 starts and $253,239 in purse earnings. Bred in Kentucky by the Marshall Naify Revocable Trust, Canadian Frontier earned his first stakes win in the ’04 Bold Ruler Handicap (G3) at Belmont Park for trainer Stanley Hough and owner E.
