Charles Fipke’s PERFECT TIMBER, a beautifully-bred son of Perfect Soul (Ire) and Grade 1 placed in his career, sired his first winner from just his third starter at Woodbine on November 27.

Talk to Ya Later, trained by Ian Black for Piano Bar Racing, got sorted out by jockey Emma-Jayne Wilson after a bumping start, rallied wide midway through the 6 1/2 furlong dash on Tapeta, and surged to victory while racing greenly in her first start. The 2-year-old dark bay filly won by 1 1/2 lengths in 1:18.03.

Fipke bred Talk to Ya Later and she was purchased at the 2020 CTHS Ontario yearling sale for $5,000 by Piano Bar’s Jim Menzies.
