It was \u201cxtremely\u201d fast up front, and an \u201cxtremely\u201d wild ride down the stretch, but Xtremely A Fan<\/B> ran in \u201cxtraordinary\u201d fashion winning a dramatic renewal of the $1,000,000 Canada Mile in Ontario<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> Saturday.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

To say it was a lively pace is a little bit of an understatement as Kiki\u2019s Solid Rock<\/B> and Digging The Grave<\/B>, working together, set some pretty brutal fractions for the opening half-mile, pressed by Gingobell<\/B> and Jungleland<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The post-time favorite, Xtremely A Fan<\/B>, didn\u2019t merely sit off the pace, but was more than twelve lengths from the front end as the field entered the far turn.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>But the sizzling pace began to take its toll on the early leaders, as the late kicks of other closing threats Niner Connection<\/B> and Jolie\u2019s Song<\/B> , and Xtremely A Fan<\/B> began to roll.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>When the field hit the top of the lane, the favorite began to gobble up ground as if he was coming from a completely different race, passing by the other closers by the eighth pole, and taking charge about 70 yards from the wire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He drew off late to win by a length and a half, with the game pacesetter Kiki\u2019s Solid Rock<\/B> holding on to second.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Jolie\u2019s Song<\/B> checked in third, followed by the three-year-old Niner Connection<\/B>, both only beaten less than three lengths.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Xtremely A Fan<\/B> made a lot of fans with his Silky Sullivan-like move, and the four-year-old son of A.P. Indy, from a Kris S. mare, ran the mile in 1:34 1\/5.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The performance earned a 110 speed figure, and earned $600,000 for the win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The ejdstable<\/I><\/B> trainee will likely get at least one more prep for October\u2019s Breeders Bowl Mile, though his immediate plans were unclear at press time. <\/o:p><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
