Venture North for Graded Stakes

On this Superfecta Sunday we venture North for a fine graded stakes race at a new track in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Perhaps a change in venue will do us some good.

Century Mile Race 10 {Canadian Derby~G3~1 1/4 mile~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

A great field of twelve will enter into the gate in this 90th running of the derby. There is some speed to keep an honest pace. Speed figs align nicely giving any of these improving lads a chance to move over to the winners circle. All of these guys will be stretching out to the mile and a quarter distance. Our task is to hatch a winning 20 CENT Superfecta box ticket. It should be a fantastic race to wager and watch.

#8 Final Jeopardy (Sarmiento / Hall)  will be the favorite coming in from New York. He holds the highest last out speed fig and one sound workout. This colt has faced tougher in his young career. A son of Kentucky Derby winner, Street Sense, he should be tracking the pace-setters and close them all down.

#7 Journeyman (D. Nelson / Harty) should present a strong challenge with the fourth highest last out speed fig and three superb workouts. This gelding comes in from Chicago and holds a 100% in the money record from six career starts. Another son of a Kentucky Derby winner, Animal Kingdom, he should be tracking closely and strike in the stretch. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

#10 Senor Friday (O. Mojica / Diodoro) appears to be sitting on a significant effort having traveled well in the North lands. He holds some good last out speed figs and three hearty, peaking workouts. He is one of the most experienced runners of the group earning a 54% in the money record from eleven career starts. A son of Curlin, he should enjoy this distance.

#3 Kaziranga (M. Pedroza / M. Simms) is another of the more experienced runners with some very good last out speed figs and one sharp workout. This colt should relish the distance as he comes in from the Kentucky racing circuit. A son of Candy Ride [ARG], he is another that will be part of the tracking crew looking for an opening as the quickening begins.

20 CENT Superfecta Box ($4.80)

#8 Final Jeopardy  +  #7 Jorneyman  +  #10 Senor Friday  +  #3 Kaziranga.
