What the Nation is saying about Big Red Mike...

Golden Moka, a mystery horse who had raced only three times in Panama prior to Sunday, romped on the front end to capture the Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie Racetrack. The Brian Lynch trainee is is owned by the Good Friends Stable whose ownership group includes a doctor, a judge, hockey superst...Read More
HANDICAPPING TODAY'S PRINCE OF WALES STAKES I have to go against the home team. No horse has yet to win the Prince Of Wales after winning the Plate on polytrack. I think that is the least of what Big Red Mike has to overcome. Big Red Mike benefited from the best speed track since Polytrack replaced ...Read More
The draw for Sunday's 75th running of the Prince of Wales Stakes was held this afternoon and a field of eight is confirmed for the event. The race is contested on dirt over a distance of a mile and three sixteenths and is the second leg of the multi-surface Canadian Triple Crown which commences with...Read More
The connections of BIG RED MIKE (Tenpins) are hoping that his brush with royalty will translate into a sweep of the Canadian Triple Crown, but first the chestnut will have to take on seven rivals in the second leg of the series, the C$500,000 Prince of Wales S., at Fort Erie on Sunday. Read More
  • humphrey · Fort Erie is the polar opposite of Woodbine. While Hotep should stand out here, his pace distribution is later that what works at the Fort, ALMOST.....Appears there may not be too much form reversal come Sunday as the top two stick out again....but what about this newcomer Golden Moka? How does one evaluate that colt? · 672 days ago ·

The Prince of Wales Stakes, the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, will go to post at beautiful Fort Erie Race Track on Sunday afternoon. I made the rounds of the Woodbine backstretch on Monday morning to try and firm up which Queen's Plate entrants would make the trip to the border oval....Read More

  • humphrey · One thing to look for after this race: the winning jockey runs out and jumps into one of the infield lakes as a part of the standard celebration....Watch for it. · 675 days ago ·

Franny Freud has had very few slips in her career; in fact she has never been beaten sprinting on the dirt. In a six-race juvenile career, she won four races, including the Ontario Debutante Stakes, Lady Finger Stakes and Fifth Avenue Stakes, her only defeats coming when second in the My Dear Stakes...Read More
I've designed a one-part series on "Things About Racing That Don't Bug Me," just to show that I'm not always harping on the negative. It's not healthy to be all pissy and moany all the time, if you know what I mean. I started to draft a blog that was about things that bug me, but I figured why be al...Read More
It was a hot, humid Sunday as the Queen made her fourth appearance at Woodbine to enjoy the 151st running of the Queen's Plate. Following an exhausting wire-to-wire route by Big Red Mike, the Queen would present the the race trophy to jockey Eurico Rosa da Silva and the Terra Racing Stable in the wi...Read More
With England's Queen Elizabeth II in attendance for the first time since 1997, front-running Big Red Mike stole the 151st renewal of the Queen's Plate with a gate-to-wire win by 1 1/2 lengths for jockey Eurico Rosa Da Silva at Woodbine July 4. Big Red Mike, who provided owner/breeder Terra Racing St...Read More
To win the Queen's Plate you need a horse that can survive a ten furlong battle while carrying 126lbs. Fortunately for trainer Greg De Gannes, he has a warrior on his side - Mobthewarrior, that is."I wouldn't trade places with anybody," said De Gannes on the Woodbine backstretch earlier this week...Read More

  • cugel the clever · The phrase "much the best" doesn't apply here. It's a fairly wide open race with good arguments to be made for half of the field. Not much early speed in the race which means that Big Red Mike could manage to steal it on the pace if the others let him get away with a slow front-running pace like the Trial. · 692 days ago ·

  • cugel the clever · As I predicted, they let Big Red set a leisurely pace on the lead, and he won gate-to-wire. A bargain at 5:1. · 691 days ago ·

The Queen’s Plate is not going to be an easy race to handicap this year as thirteen horses all try ten furlongs for the first time. In the mix you have one maiden (Vicar Street), two fillies (Roan Inish, Moment of Majesty), three Sam-Son Farms colts (Dark Cloud Dancer, Giant’s Tomb, Hotep) and a dis...Read More
Stakes winner Hotep is the probable favorite as he makes his first start in Canadian restricted company in the $1-million Queen’s Plate at Woodbine on Sunday. The first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the 1 ¼-mile race on Polytrack attracted a field of 13 Canadian-foaled three-year-olds, including...Read More
Woodbine-based talent will be working to capture a pair of graded stakes events out-of-town on Saturday as Biofuel heads to Belmont and Bay to Bay travels to Monmouth Park for trainers Reade Baker and Brian Lynch.

It couldn’t have happened to nicer folks. That was the phrase heard over and over on Sunday following an exciting afternoon of racing at Woodbine. And that’s not to say that the rest of the contenders in the Budweiser Woodbine Oaks were any less congenial in the build up to the race, but there was s...Read More
