A ticket could be built around Explode, who will be a short price to win the $50,000 Chris Loseth in race 6. The 1 1/16 miles race for 3-year-olds is the first serous step towards the Grade 3, $250,000 British Columbia Derby. Trained by Mark Cloutier, the Kentucky-bred son of Trappe Shot romped going 6 1/2 furlongs in the River Rock Casino on June 2 and the only time he went a middle-distance he won the $75,000 Ascot Graduation by a widening 6 1/4 lenghts as a 2-year-old last year.
The track is fast.
