An Emerald Superfecta Sunday

We look in on closing day at Emerald Downs up in Auburn, Washington for our Superfecta Sunday.

Emerald Downs Race 7 {Getaway Day Stakes~1 1/16 mile~3 year-old~Stakes}

A nice field of eight will go to the gate in this annual contest. There is enough speed to keep the pace rolling quickly. Speed numbers are fairly close for these competitors. All have solid in the money records making it a challenge to fasten together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket. But try we must in what should be a very good race.

#8 Weekend Wizard (Walcott / MacPherson) should go off as the favorite with the highest last out speed numbers at a longer route and one fine workout. He should be the pace-setter and could wire the field. A son of Rosburg, he is 72% in the money form eleven career starts.

#6 Canadian Game (Gutierrez / Gann) will challenge with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, again at a longer route and one superb workout. He should be running close to the pace seeking to get first jump on the field. A son of Curlin, is also 72% in the money from eleven starts.

#4 Yulong Warrior (E. Roman / O'Neill) comes up from California after having raced in Dubai earlier this year. He shares the second highest last out speed number and has put in two stout workouts. This son of Street Cry [IRE], is 66% in the money from nine starts. Epect him to track the pace ready to strike. He is our Bronze Horseshoe slection.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Sippin Fire (Bowen / Bullock) will be seeking his fifth win in a row. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number and has put in one dynamite workout. A son of Harbor the Gold, he is 77% in the money from nine career starts. Figures to be part of the pace scenario.
