Saturday Woodbine wrap

Dragon Bay, a 6-1 overlay under the crafty Gary Boulanger, upset the Maryland shipper Can'thelpbelieving in winning the G2 Nijinsky Stakes in front-running style. It was Dragon Bay's first race past nine furlongs in the 10-furlong test, and his second graded stakes score of the meet, so you could make a case that he's the leading older horse on the grounds.  

Jennifer Lynnette was the only horse to make a run at the speedy Kasuga in the G3 Royal North, and she got home on top by a head after a patient ride from Patrick Husbands. Her time of 1:08.17 was just over a second slower than Kasuga's course record.

The combination of trainer Roger Attfield and jockey Rafael Hernandez doubled up on the turf with imports Kylla Instinct and Luckfromabove.

Ontario freshman sire Pool Play got his first winner with Ellas My Love, who could run back in the Aug. 30 Muskoka, a lucrative stakes for graduates of local yearling sales.

Nobody won the Jackpot Hi 5 outright, and the carryover heading into Sunday is $538K.

The handle was $4.53 million.
