Hitting the Turf Up North over the Border

Our Stakes Saturday brings us up North across the Border for some great Turf action.

Woodbine Race 6 {Nassau Stakes~G2~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Graded Stakes}

A superb group of twelve will hit the Turf in this annual contest. There is sufficient speed to keep the pace on the mark. Speed numbers are exceptionally close. Half the field has run over the beautiful Woodbine course. It should be one of the best Stakes races on this Saturday.

#5 Abscond (Stein / Kenneally) might have the advantage with the third highest (tie) last out speed number and three high powered workouts. This filly has already won over the Woodbine course which adds to her luster. Look for her to race close to the pace. A daughter of Blame, he is 70% in the money from ten career starts.

$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#10 Jolie Olympica [BRZ] (Contreras / J. Carroll) should go off as the favorite with the second highest last out speed number and four strong workouts. She should be part of the pace scenario. This will be her first race over the Woodbine course coming off a modest layoff. A daughter of Drosselmeyer, she is 100% in the money from nine career starts.

$1 PLACE  /  #2 SHOW.

#12 Merveilleux (R. Hernandez / K. Attard) should contend coming off a longer route and putting in two hearty workouts. This will be her first attempt at this distance. Look for her to track the pace closely and shoot into the stretch. A daughter of Paynter, she is 66% in the money from twelve career starts.

$2 SHOW.

#1 Abby Hatcher [IRE] (Kimura / Meah) comes up from Arlington International with the highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. She should track the pace ready to strike. This gal loves the surface and the distance. A daughter of Acclamation [GB], she is 66% in the money from nine career starts.

$1 SHOW.


$1 Saturday Exacta Wheel ($3.00)

#5 Abscond  //  #10 Jolie Olympica [BRZ],  #12 Merveilleux,  #1 Abby Hatcher [IRE].
