Up North for Superfecta Sunday

Superfecta Sunday in Canada. Fresh air and brisk weather. Great for Horse Racing.

Woodbine Race 6 {Northern Dancer~G1~1 1/2 miles~TURF~3 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

A very talented group of nine will hit the Woodbine Turf in this classic race. There is lone speed which could dictate the fractions and hit the board. Speed numbers are comparable for all these lads. Our task is to string together a winning 20 CENT (Yes, that's the Canadian minimum) Superfecta ticket.

#5 Lucky Speed [IRE] (Starke / Schiergen) is coming off a victory in the American St. Leger at Arlington International where he earned the highest last out speed number at a much longer Turf route. He is working a three race progression and has put in two fine peaking workouts. This guy is the one to beat.

#7 Aldous Snow (Da Silva / Pierce) holds the second highest speed number at the distance, has two respectable last out speed figures, and has put in two shiny workouts. This lad loves the Woodbine Turf and has a solid 50% in the money record at this distance. He should improve over his last out with a close tracking effort. Our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$1 SHOW.

#6 Interpol (Wilson / Attard) is the lone speed in the race and could don the kerchief and nab this one. He holds the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two endurance producing workouts. Another that loves the Woodbine green, he could surprise.

#3 Danish Dynaformer (Husbands / Attfield) should contend mightily with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three superb workouts. He has already notched a win at this distance and over the Woodbine course. This lad should be part of the quickening crew of trackers as they head into the stretch.

Woodbine {Natalma~G2~1 mile~TURF~2 year-old~fillies~Graded Stakes}

An improving group of eleven gals will take to the turf in this contest. There is enough speed to make for a potentially heated pace. Speed numbers are relatively close as each of these girls stride for better. I should be a hotly contested event.

#4 Gamble's Ghost (Contreras / J. Carroll) might have the edge with the third highest last out speed number in her only start and three sound peaking workouts. This daughter of Ghostzapper should close into a sizzling pace as she stretches out in this one.
$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE.

#3 Most Inspiring (A. Garcia  /  Vella) will challenge with a decent last out speed number at a sprint and three serious workouts. This gal should be near the pace ready to strike going into the stretch. A daughter of the great Gio Ponti, she should cherish the Turf surface.
$1 PLACE  /  $1 SHOW.

#1 Caren (Campbell / DePaulo) should contend with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four superior peaking workouts. She is undefeated in three starts. This daughter of Society's Chairman, will battle for the lead.

Another Wagering Interest

#9 Catch a Glimpse (Geroux / Casse) will be in the mix as she is forwardly placed. This gal holds the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two hearty workouts.A daughter of City Zip, she should show noted improvement in this her third start.
