AVIE’S FLATTER is the ‘now’ horse at Woodbine these days as the 5-year-old horse, owned and bred by Ivan Dalos, powered his way to victory in the Grade 2 Connaught Cup at seven furlongs on turf at Woodbine on July 18. The son of Flatter – Avie’s Empire by Empire Maker is two-for-two in 2021 and and signs point to the Josie Carroll trainee being a contender for the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile, Sept. 18.
Ridden by Luis Contreras, who had a good day at the track office on Sunday, Avie’s Flatter parlayed a booming season debut win on Tapeta into his Connaught score.
