TORONTO, October 9, 2022 – A pair of 7 ½-furlong Inner Turf Races, one for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds and up, the other for Ontario-sired fillies, 3-year-olds and up, shared the stakes spotlight on Saturday at Woodbine. In the $100,000 Eternal Search, a race named after the Mel Lawson standout, Golden Vision took all the spoils.
