Lemon Pepper notches first win for sire Fisher Pond


Stakes winner Fisher Pond sired his first winner on Monday when filly Lemon Pepper won a maiden special weight race at Northlands Park.

Lemon Pepper, who was bred in Alberta by Gordon Wilson and is out of the Lemon Drop Kid mare Lemon Drop Martini, completed six furlongs in 1:14.40 for owner Lomar Stables and trainer Pam McDougall.

Fisher Pond stood the 2008 season for $2,589 at Paddockhurst Stables in Nisku, Alberta. The nine-year-old by A.P. Indy was bred by Gayno Stables out of the Alydar mare Chipeta Springs, dam of 2008 Virginia Derby (G2) winner Gio Ponti. He has 17 two-year-old in his first crop.

Trained by Todd Pletcher and David Bell for Laura and Eugene Melnyk, Fisher Pond won three of 21 starts and earned $251,490. His lone stakes victory came in the 2002 Lawrence Realization Handicap at Belmont Park. He finished second that season in the Red Smith Handicap (G3) and third in the Gallant Fox Handicap (G3).
