It’s been a long time since I’ve had to add a new track to the database, but this week we are out in Edmonton, Canada at the Century Mile for the Canadian Derby. Toss in a few more races from Saratoga, Del Mar, and Monmouth, and we’ve got quite the day of racing. Let’s have a look at the fields.

Race 1: Philip H. Iselin Stakes (G3)

• Highly Motivated – Winner at Monmouth, winner of last 2 races, winner at 1 and 1/8, lost by a neck to Essential Quality in the Bluegrass, high percentage trainer, working well.
• Forza Di Oro – 3/3 at distance, high speed figs, hasn’t raced since October, returning to shorter distance, high percentage jockey / trainer.
• Promise Keeper – Dud last race, and at distance, vs weaker competition, only other horse realistically hitting 100 beyers, 0/3 at distance, coming off a layoff, high percentage trainer, bound to improve, but will it be enough?

Race 2: Lake Placid Stakes (G2)

• With The Moonlight – Winner last race, dropping distance, good speed figures, high percentage trainer, inside post is the play on inner turf at Saratoga.
• Consumer Spending – Winner of 3/4 at distance and 1/2 at Saratoga, high speed figs, high percentage jockey/trainer, dropping distance, working well.
• Dolce Zel – Winner last race, winner Saratoga, winner at distance, high percentage jockey / trainer, working well, could be a Chad Brown betting day.

• Change of Control – winner last race, inside post, consistent 90’s speed figs, lots of experience and wins at distance, should sit just off the lead.
• Caravel – Graded stakes winner, high percentage jockey / trainer, high speed figs, bombed last race, but winner of 5/9 at distance and winner at Saratoga, working out well, bounce back candidate.

Race 4: Alabama Stakes (G1)

• Nest – Just killing it lifetime 8 5-2-1, winner at Saratoga, winner last race, second in Belmont Stakes, high percentage trainer and jockey, highest speed figures, likely put past losses against field behind her.

Race 6: Canadian Derby (G3)

• Great Escape – Chased down by Red Knobs last race, but seems to have better speed figs and more potential.
• Red Knobs – Winner last race, highest speed fig, finished in the money last 4 races.

Some large fields, and lots of opportunity here for some big wins. The Canadian Derby should be interesting. You staying up for it? See if you can beat me this week.
