Saturday’s 6th race from Woodbine (12-02-17) is the $100,000 Display Stakes for 2-year-olds traveling a mile and a sixteenth on the all-weather surface.
#4 Archaggelos (3-1) is on the upswing for sharp trainer Michael Dickinson and he shipped from Laurel Park to Woodbine and easily captured the Grade 3 Grey Stakes at this distance Oct 1. He has been freshened for this and probably wins again under Rafael Hernandez.
$625,000 purchase #9 Thunder Ride (6-1) hit the ground running in a decent stalk/pounce debut maiden win in a local off the turf sprint Nov 11. His new rider Patrick Husbands wins races with Mark Casse and he is bred to go this far (Pioneerof the Nile-Deputy Minister).
#6 Admiralty Pier (2-1) showed nice form in a pair of sprint starts but was a bit flat in both route outings vs. graded foes. He added blinkers and missed by a nose in a local extended sprint Nov 11 and trainer Barbara Minshall is 0-for-29 route/sprint.
#1 Hoochiecoochie Sam (15-1) followed up a smart debut sprint win vs. $40,000 maiden claimers with a rallying 2nd in an optional claiming turf route on yielding ground. Eurico Rosa Da Silva takes over the riding duties and trainer Julia Carey shows a +ROI turf/all-weather.
#7 Sable Island (7-2) exits back-to-back sprint wins at Woodbine under today’s rider Emma-Jayne Wilson and just held off Admiralty Pier last time. Trainer Gordon Colbourne is 0-for-13 first route and he looms a pace factor at the very least.
The Plays:
#4 to win
Exacta Box 4-9
Trifecta Key 4/1-6-7-9
