Will It Be Paradise City For Guns An Roses In
Cam Fella
By Greg Gangle
TORONTO, March 2 - Guns An Roses, who carries a
two-race win streak, will be a top contender in the second
leg of the $40,000 Cam Fella Pacing Series, set for Saturday
evening at Woodbine.
The four-year-old son of Life Sign-Best Lady captured his
first division in 1:51.3 for co-owner/breeder Joanne Colville,
who co-owns with her daughter, Emma Christoforou, while
Colville’s father, Frank, handles the training.
Colville's decision to nominate Gun An Roses to the Cam
Fella Pacing Series came after the brown gelding, who
earned $99,170 last season, scored his lifetime best mark.
“We weren’t sure if he was going to be able to go with
these types of horses, but we decided to give him a shot,
especially after he took his 1:50.3 record in the Grassroots
Semi-final. He’s proven himself,” Colville said.
Colville’s High Stakes Inc. bred has amassed $141,220 in
career earnings to date.
“He’s the type of horse that races better when he’s in the
mix of things. That’s when you get the best performance out
of him,” Colville noted. “He’s starting to show some of his
mother's back-class (Best Lady p,1:51.4 - $276,915).”
Colville also believes that giving Guns An Roses the
appropriate time off in the fall was instrumental to the
recent success he’s enjoyed, namely earnings of $42,050
from just six starts (three wins) in 2012.
“That was the best thing
we could have done for
him,” Colville said. “He
really matured, filled out
and grew into himself.
He’s just a nice-sized
horse and it looks like we
did everything right to

bring him back in the right
form. So far, it’s paying off
and hopefully that continues.”
When Guns An Roses begins from post one in the second
of two divisions Saturday night, Colville will hand the
lines to fiancée, driver Jack Moiseyev.
“Jack seems to get along well with him,” Colville said. “I
know he thought quite a bit of him when he took his lifetime
best and it looks like that’s continued. If not, we’ll
have to make a driver change,” she said with a laugh.
The Cam Fella Pacing Series is for four and
five-year-old pacers in 2012, who are non-winners of
$150,000 lifetime as of midnight December 31, 2011. The
$100,000 final is scheduled for Saturday, March 10.
