Stakes Saturday in Toronto Canada

 We make a journey, virtually, to the great country of Canada for our Stakes Saturday.

Woodbine Race 9 {Woodbine Mile~G1~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~graded Stakes}

A highly talented field of eight will go to the gate in this annual grade one contest. It should be a fantastic race with lots of dollars flowing into the pools.

Past Performances utilized:  DRF Formulator.

This will be a very competitive race with any of these entrants having a chance to pull off the victory. There is plenty of speed to maintain a fast pace. Two millionaires are in the race, one of them a mare challenging the boys. Beyer Speed figures are very close. All have been well prepped with proper workout tabs. What a race this should be!!

#7 Value Proposition [GB] (Contreras / C. Brown) is certainly one of the favorites with three very good last out speed numbers and three speed workouts over Turf. He will be making her first start over the Woodbine course, but loves the surface and excels at the distance. This son of Dansili [GB], is 80% in the money from five career starts. He should track the pace and make his run in the stretch.

$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#4 Starship Jubilee (Stein / K. Attard) will challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. This seven year-old mare will challenge these lads coming with eighteen wins on her record. She has the tactical speed to feel these boys out and make an adjustment. A millionaire daughter of Indy Wind, she is 70% in the money from thirty-seven career starts.

$1 PLACE  /  $2 SHOW.

#8 War of Will (R. Hernandez / M. Casse) should contend with the second highest last out speed number and four significant peaking workouts. This guy is another with tactical speed that should do him well with some of the speedsters in the race. Last year's Preakness winner, he does enjoy the Turf. A millionaire son of War Front, he is 50% in the money from sixteen career starts.

$1 SHOW.

#1 March to the Arch (Husbands / M. Casse) will be in the mix with the highest last out speed number and three hearty workouts. He is perfect on the Woodbine course in his two efforts. This guy should get the pace to track and close into. A son of Arch, this lad is 52% in the money from twenty-three career starts.

$1 Saturday Exacta Wheel ($3.00)

Bankroll takes a hit again falling to $50.02.

Superfecta Sunday down New Mexico way

 Off we go, virtually, of course, down to New Mexico for a nice stakes race on this Superfecta Sunday.

Albuquerque Downs Race 9 {O.D. McDonald Stakes~7 Furlongs~3 year-old Up~NM~Stakes}

A flush field of eleven will go to the gate in this annual event. Should be an exciting stakes sprint.

Past Performances Used:  Time Form US

This field consists entirely of geldings. There is ample speed to make this pace sizzle. All, but one have raced over the Albuquerque track. Speed figures are fairly close which should make this one truly competitive. Our task is to rope together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket. A nice race to wager and watch.

#2 Gunners One (Negron / Evans) was the victor in this race last year when it was held in June. This guy is making his second start of the year while holding the fourth highest speed number at this distance. Watch for him to be forwardly placed. He has put in one sound workout. A son of Diabolical, he is 70% in the money from seventeen career starts. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.

$2 SHOW.

#4 Thunder Dome (Laviolette / Barton) is coming off an extended layoff ready to get down to business. He holds the second highest last out speed number and three solid workouts. This gelding holds the highest speed number at the distance. Look for him to track the pace. A son of Dome, he is 77% in the money from thirty-six career starts.

#9 Shining Source (E. Gomez / Rust) is another coming off an extended layoff with three superb workouts. He holds the third highest speed number at the distance while being a specialist at same. This guy is another tracking ready to kick it in. A son of Source, he is 56% in the money from fifty three starts. Also, most wins, at thirteen, of the field.

#7 Fonger (Arboleda / M. Hernandez) comes into to this race with three good last out speed numbers and two hearty workouts. He does have the second highest speed number at the distance. He will be part of the pace scenario seeking to hang on. A son of Atilla's Storm, he is 58% in the money from thirty-nine starts.
