<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 – Acceptable Echo\n– knobhill stables – Jockey: C. Sutherland Odds: 19-1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 3 lifetime races,\nAcceptable Echo is 1-2-0 and has come close on the dirt before, but\nagainst just other fillies. This will be her 1st big test against an\nopen field of 2 year old colts and fillies. \u201cWe are gonna let her\nrun her race and open it up when we get an opening\u201d, jockey Chantal\nSutherland told the media at press day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – Bingo Hall –\navengers stables – Jockey: M. Romberg Odds: 125\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bingo Hall, daughter of\nCanadian dam Big Time A, has struggled out of the gate of her career.\nWith a career high of 50 SP, Bingo Hall is the longest shot in the\nfield. \u201cYou can\u2019t get better without experience, that\u2019s the\ngoal with our girl and hopefully maybe turn some heads\u201d, trainer\nAuston Marner stated at the final prep workout for Bingo Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – Take Me To\nOttawa – oldmoonfarms19 stables – Jockey: B. Renfroe Odds: 6\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a blazing top SP\nof 69, Take Me To Ottawa broke his maiden in his only race so far in\nhis career. With the win on the turf, just how will that translate\nover to the dirt? Early favorite when the entries opened but has\ndropped ever so slightly. When asked where do they think the gelding\nwill finish on race day, track insiders all say the same thing, \u201cIN\nTHE MONEY\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 – Woodychucker\n– wando stables – Jockey: K. Edwards Odds: 10\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The son of Iliad,\nWoodychucker, is off to a quick start to his career. In 5 career\nstarts, Woodchucker is 1-3-1, with a top SP of 75 in his last race\nwhich he broke maiden. Jockey Kyle Edwards will wear special rainbow\nsilks, representing Pride Toronto 2021\u2019s partnership with the\nCanadian Thoroughbred Residency. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 – Gambling\nMecca – canadianstar stables – Jockey: J. Hladum Odds: 7\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a career SP high\nof 70 and 3 wins in 4 lifetime races, Gambling Mecca certainly has\nshown that he belongs in this race. \u201cHe has what it takes to\ncompete with the big boys and girls\u201d, Racing analyst Ed Olczyk\nexpressed this week. \u201cHe is in great form this week\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 – Covid\nConnection – oldmoonfarms19 stables – Jockey: K. Cogswell Odds:\n37\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretching out for the\nfirst time at 6.5 furlongs, Covid Connection is being considered an\nafterthought in this one. The grandson of Bernardini, Covid\nConnection has the pedigree to succeed but just not in this field of\n16. Experience will be key for future development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 – Santa Got\nBack – fastncanuck stables – Jockey: J. Ingram Odds: 18\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making their debut in\nthis race, not much is known about the grandson of A.P. INDY. Track\ninsiders are reporting that even with no race experience, Santa Got\nBack is getting decent respect from the betting community<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 – Danish Pride\n– stuger148 stables – Jockey: T. Ceciliani Odds: 23\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking her maiden in\nher first race, this filly has shown the growing pains of a 2 year\nold racer. With a record of 1-1-1 in 5 career starts, Danish Pride is\nstarting to show more consistency each race and could very well have\na good run here. Not a sure bet but a definite long shot that could\nsurprise the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 – Ontario Mists\n– ontracingl stables – Jockey: Rodney Edwards Odds: 44\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making his dirt debut,\nOntario Mists looks good and could very well have a serious run. But\nthe real story for this stable is Jockey Edwards, who will be the\nonly 2 sport athlete in this one. Flying in Friday from Euro 2020\nwhere he played for the Wales National Football(Soccer) team, racing\nin the Play The King Saturday before flying out if Wales passes the\nround of 16 without him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 – Sili Frac –\ngrid1a stables – Jockey: L. Marlin Odds: 4\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eagerly anticipated\ndebut of Sili Frac has finally come in this field of Sweet 16 2 year\nolds. The daughter of Frac Daddy, grand-daughter of Bernardini has\nbeen phenomenal in her workouts and looks to be in top form. The\nworld will be watching!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 – True Awesome\n– twaits008 stables – Jockey: K. Ebner Odds: 14\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 2 career starts,\nincluding a win and 2nd place, True Awesome comes back on the dirt\nfor this 6.5 furlong race. Finishing 2nd last race on the Turf, the\nstable is hoping for another top performance this time on the dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 – Pool Parties\n– canadianstar0 stables – Jockey: S. Lawrie Odds: 6\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A turf specialist in\nher early career, Pool Parties debuts on the dirt in this race. With\n6\/1 odds, the oddsmakers are giving major props due to her dominance\non the turf. \u201cShe\u2019s quick on the turf, let\u2019s see if it\ntranslates to the dirt track\u201d, Canadian Racing Legend Sandy Hawley\nsaid to the media this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 – Ontario\nKnight – ontracinga stables – Jockey: R. Waples Odds: 25\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like in the Batman\ntrilogy, the dark knight rises except the Ontario Knight doesn\u2019t\nlook to be capable of rising in this field. Raised and trained on the\ngrass, this is another dirt debut in this one. When asked what is the\nstrategy on this race, Waples replied with \u201cBill Daly and see what\nhappens from there\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14 – Shania\u2019s\nTwain – awesomefarms stables – Jockey: B. McMurray Odds: 51\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2nd longest shot on\nthe board, Shania\u2019s Twain puts her undefeated streak on the line\nwith a move to the dirt. In her debut on June 6th, she shocked the\nfield with a wire to wire finish to qualify for the Play The King\nrace. Awesomefarms is hoping lightning strikes twice with this filly\nagainst some of the CTR\u2019s top 2 year olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15 – Kurai Shosan\n– mohawkpark stables – Jockey: R. Heenan Odds: 7\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The undefeated son of\nFrac Daddy, Kurai Shosan makes his dirt debut. With an average SP of\n68, Kurai can keep up in this race and could have an outside shot of\nan upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 –Reloadovar\n– canbred stables – Jockey: R. Wisniewski Odds: 6\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another debut racer as\nthe daughter of Hyscovar and Reload will challenge the field and with\nmajor respect from the oddsmakers from her pedigree. Head Trainer of\ncanbred stables says that she\u2019s been trying on nothing but dirt and\nlooks exceptionally good this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
