Joshua Tree (Final Odds 4.35-1), with Jockey Frankie Dettori on top, jumped to the early lead, set a leisurely pace (51.59 for the first half mile; 1:17.17 for the first six furlongs) and held tough at the end (23.58 for the final quarter) to wire the field in Sunday's running of the Grade 1 Canadian International Stakes at Woodbine. Dandino (25.4-1) took the Place, a half length behind Joshua Tree; while Forte Dei Marmi (8.35-1) finished a half length behind Dandino to take the Show.
Since Imperial Monarch (1.8-1) and Prince Will I Am (20.75-1) both finished out of the money, my flyer wager and exotic plays were total wipe outs, resulting in an eighteen dollar loss. However, with Joshua Tree paying $10.70 / $6.10 / $4.40, the five dollars I played across returned fifty-three dollars, making for a net profit on the race of twenty dollars.
Not bad for a prep race. I hope you all had it with me.
Onto the next race!

Peace and Love,
