It was the first Canadian triple crown stakes win for Kazushi Kimura, Woodbine\u0027s leading rider.
Touch ‘n Ride needed the length of the stretch to win the $400,000 Breeders’ Stakes. He also needed to show a little toughness.The three-year-old colt was carried to the outer half of Woodbine’s turf track in the stretch by Elysian Field late in the 1 1/2-mile final leg of the Canadian triple crown. But he still had enough to prevail by a short head at odds of 4-1.Ridden by Kazushi Kimura, Touch ‘n Ride was never far off a reasonable pace early in the test.
“I had a great feeling coming into the race,” he said. “We talked about this since the first time he ran. I knew this was something he could do.” Making a splash on the toteboard was Twowaycrossing, who finished third at 51-1 for trainer Roger Attfield. Paramount Prince finished last but one in the 14-horse field.
Also Sunday, Forever Dixie, with Patrick Husbands aboard, closed smartly along the rail to win the $125,000 Ontario Damsel Stakes. It was the third career win for the Mark Casse-trained three-year-old filly.Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion and encourage all readers to share their views on our articles.
