Lane 4 and firm (GS 10.8) for the turf on a beautiful sunny day in Toronto.
Ontario-sired maiden 2-year-olds will kick off the 11-race card. Fast-working offspring of promising freshman sire Souper Speedy, Souper Hot and Banama Rama, could dominate the five-furlong dash.
Souper Speedy's lone stakes victory came in the slop in the 2013 Jaipur at Belmont, which he won after the disqualification of Big Screen. The latter, another first-year Ontario sire, produced impressive debut winner Sav, who's a contender in the featured My Dear Stakes, a five and a half-furlong tilt for 2yo fillies.
The other debut winners in the $100K My Dear are probable favorite My Gal Betty, Tiz Breathtaking, Subsidiary, Questionoftheday and Entirely, who graduated with ease on the turf at Gulfstream.
Mark Casse has a 42-37 lead in the trainer standings over Norm McKnight, who doesn't have a starter on the card. Casse has runners in four races.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $41K.
