Camp Creek, saving ground throughout under Rafael Hernandez, moved to the lead on the final turn and drew off for a 3 3/4-length victory in the 2 1/4-mile finale of Woodbine’s second annual Turf Endurance Series on Sunday.
The Turf Endurance Series, open to starters for $25,000 or less the last two seasons with a $45,000 claiming option, consisted of four legs at increasing distances with points award on a 10-7-5-3-2-1 basis.
Artistico, winner of the first and third legs, had already clinched top honours by amassing 20 points heading into Sunday’s $50,000 feature and earned his owners, 4U Thoroughbred Racing Stable, a $25,000 bonus and trainer Sylvain Pion a bonus of $15,000.
