First Winner for '75

Original Toronto Star caption: First Winner for '75: Pink Ice (3) splashes through gumbo at Greenwood yesterday to become the first winner of the 1975 Ontario thoroughbred season; beating No. 6; Red light lady; by half -a-length. The winning jockey; Don Frazier Jr.; is an apprentice; signed to a three-year contract by Warren Beasley; who had never seen Frazier ride in a race until yesterday. He bough Frazier's contract on advice of a trainer and the 23-year-old Knoxville; Tenn; jockey started paying dividends right away. Pink Ice was one of four longshot winners.
