The $50,000 Western Canada Handicap for 3-year-olds, race 7, is the first step toward the Grade 3, $250,000 Canadian Derby on Aug. 18. Hastings invader (4) Call It a Wrap should have speed coming back to him in the 6-furlong dash that drew 6 horses.
The Western Canada is a competitve event but we can't say the same for the co-featured Chariot Chaser for 3-year-old fillies where (6) Im Evin Im Leavin stands out and has been installed as the 1-2 favorite. With the scratch of Miss McFad the 6-furlong dash will start with 5 horses.
