Mr. Jagermeister becomes top state-bred money-earner at Canterbury Park

Mr. Jagermeister won the 10,000 Lakes Stakes on Wednesday night at Canterbury Park by 4¾ lengths, covering six furlongs in a stakes-record 1:08.54.

The 6-year old earned $30,000 of the $50,000 purse and became the all-time richest Minnesota-bred money earner with lifetime earnings of $645,434, surpassing sixth-place finisher Hot Shot Kid, who is the second-richest earner with $618,611. Mr. Jagermeister won the 10,000 Lakes in 2018. Hot Shot Kid won the stake in 2019 and 2020.

Mr. Jagermeister is trained by Valorie Lund who co-owns the horse with Leslie Cummings and Kristin Boice. He was ridden by Ruben Fuentes. Mr. Jagermeister paid $4.20 as the wagering favorite. Drop of Golden Sun, who set the first quarter-mile fraction, held on for second. Cinco Star was third.

The $50,000 Lady Slipper Stakes, also at six furlongs, went to Clickbait and jockey Cecily Evans. This was the first stake victory for Evans, whose riding career began in 2009. Evans let the 5-year-old mare sail to the lead on the backstretch and was never challenged from there, drawing off to win by 4½ lengths in 1:09.77.

Clickbait paid $4.40.

Total handle for the nine-race program was $2,418,727 bolstered by $653,521 wagered into the Pick 5 pool that had a carry-over from the previous day of $91,333.

The handle total is the ninth-largest total daily handle in the history of Canterbury Park, and the second-largest non-Claiming Crown handle total.
