Seneca Park Wins Gate-to-Wire Debut at Ellis Park

Seneca Park, a two‑year‑old filly by Golden Pal out of Wendy Wow, captured her first start at Ellis Park on August 7, 2026. Entered as the 3‑1 favorite after a late scratch, she broke well, took the lead early and held off challengers to win by four lengths. The performance gave the freshman sire Golden Pal his 13th win and highlighted the training of Brian Hernandez Jr. for Holy Cow Stable LLC.

The race marked a notable debut for the filly, who posted a time of 1:01.84 for the 5½‑furlong distance, and added $58,768 to her earnings record of 1‑1‑0‑0.
