Lane 5 and yielding (9.3 GS) for the turf on a cloudy day with a chance of drizzle.
Pink Lloyd won what was probably an unprecedented sixth consecutive Woodbine stakes despite losing a shoe in the Aug. 30 Kenora. The powerful chestnut is looking to extend his run to seven in the seven-furlong Overskate, for OS sprinters. The only comparable streak I can think of in these parts is Dance Smartly, who won her first seven starts in stakes in 1991 (including the Prince of Wales at Fort Erie) before capping that sensational year with a victory in the Breeders' Cup Distaff.
Jacks Escarpment, the runner-up in the six-furlong Kenora, could be the main threat. Boreal Spirit and Singandcryindubai could also hit the board.
The $225K Princess Elizabeth Stakes is down to a six-horse field after the scratch of Mo Big Cat. The protagonists in the mile and a sixteenth test for Canadian-bred 2yo fillies are Hell N Wild, Safe to Say and Avie's Mineshaft.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $21K.
