Going to be very much like a rematch of the 2010 field....6 out of 9 horses had raced last year (incl top 3)...Joshua Tree emerged
the winner from photo room...Since the Emirates racing series was discontinued back in 2005, this race has been "featureless".

I will rather place merits on the basis of a horse's sire and its rider...Jukebox Jury apears to be an alluring combination bet.

Well, difficult to call...many icons this time round.

:lol:

Soumillon had reflated his purse on board Montjeu's 4 yo filly Sarah Lynx in the Canada's richest race. 4 lengths away 2nd is
Joshua Tree, last year winner of this event. JT missed the gate a little and was getting blocked soon after.

It was anybody's chance near the home turn..but the winner shot through the field along the rail and took the money. All the
first 5 finish positions were filled up by european nationality.

The blinkered Sarah Lynx was sent off around 22-1. Treasury Beach, the favorite, managed to beat Artic Cosmo and Quest
For Peace to clinch 3rd.

Winner Sarah Lynx was 4&3/4 lengths 4th (of 5) in the recent french G1 12f Prix Vermeille, returning home behind winner
Galikova, Testosterone and Shareta. With this win Sarah has got for herself a ticket on the BC Days early next month.

She was very fractious in the post parade, made me pass on betting her - dangit! Little fireball that one! Great day of racing!

I kinda wish his race was pushed a week back, it would be a perfect BC prep. but now horses these days pick one or the other. It's a great race.
