Up North for Stakes Saturday

We look in on one of the great Turf courses in North America to watch the always exciting Woodbine Mile.

Woodbine Race 12 {Woodbine Mile~G1~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

A fantastic field of twelve will take to the lush Woodbine grass. There is enough speed to create an honest pace. Speed numbers are all fairly close creating an opportunity for any of the entrants to win. It should be the best race on Stakes Saturday.

#6 Deauville [IRE] (Spencer / O'Brien) has an edge with the fourth highest last out speed number in the Arlington Million at a much longer distance. The cut back should aid his efforts. A millionaire son of Galileo [IRE], this lad should track the pace closely and spring into the stretch willingly.

$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#2 Tower of Texas (Da Silva / Attfield) will challenge with a couple of very good last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and two very strong workouts. He loves the course and distance which should help his cause. A son of Street Sense, he should be part of the tracking crew.

$1 PLACE  /  #2 SHOW.

#1 World Approval (J. Velazquez / Casse) might be the horse to beat with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression and three stellar peaking workouts. He holds the highest speed number at this distance. A son of Northern Afleet, he should be forwardly placed maintaining a good position.

$1 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#8 Mondialiste [IRE] (J. Ortiz  / O'Meara) should contend with  a couple of good last out speed numbers, the last one being at a longer route distance. He is the 2015 winner of this event. Another son of Galileo [IRE], with the proper pace he should be closing swiftly.

#12 Glenville Gardens (Contreras / S. Attard) looks to be in the hunt with a couple of good last out speed numbers, a three race progression, and two top notch workouts. He is another that loves the course and distance. A son of Street Cry [IRE], he has the tactical speed which will suit this field well.
