00:00Mhm. So the seventh race is the grade three maple leaf. It's a mile and a

00:06quarter. We have a field of 13. One of the major players in here is

00:10fashionably fab, who's a multiple graded stakes winner. Other horses in

00:14here, like Millie girl is a multiple graded stakes winner, a lesion field.

00:19That's the number six who was the 2023 would buy an oaks winner and the

00:23king's plate runner up. All even mentioned one fun long shot. The 10

00:28Salini Salina Salina. Yeah, say that five times. This is the first time

00:34synthetic for that grade three winner who's only 20 to one. Anything for

00:38Salinas. I was a big fan of the movie Salina starring J Lo. But Alexa mentioned

00:44a couple of the horses that you like in here because we could probably go

00:47through every horse in this race and make a case for or against each and

00:51every one of them. Yeah, no, I agree. Fashionably fab is gonna be tough. This

00:55is her. She's the class of the race. This is her domain. All her graded

00:58stakes have been at Woodbine that she's won. So this is her house. Millie girl,

01:02though, is the defending champ that you mentioned her. We also have Caitlin or

01:06greatness. The 13 horse in here, who was this year's king's plate winner who

01:10loves this track, loves this distance. Definitely, I think we'll take some

01:14money and be part of the early speed. And then another long shot in here that

01:17I'm interested in is the number three ecstasy coming off of a win and three

01:22straight, really good performances. Her last out was a big improvement, and,

01:26um, she's in good form. Her jockey and trainer are winning 22% of the time

01:30when they team up, and they've been over $5 R. O. Y. So that shows me they

01:34know how to bring in these long shots. Yeah, when you have legitimate 20 to 1

01:37shots that you can make a case for, you know, it's a strong competitive race.

01:42So, uh, yeah, to the outside Queen Regent and Caitlin. Her greatness. Both

01:46major players. Let's move to race number eight. This one is the grade three

01:49best Arabian. Only a field of 14 in here going seven furlongs up on the

01:54synthetic. The number three storm cast is a horse who's actually really fast

01:59and gets to cut back a little bit. Um, you look at others like Gal in a rush.

02:03The number six, who's a grade three winner? I think one who will take some

02:07money in here. Sunday shoes footloose footloose kick off those Sunday shoes

02:12is one that's lightly raced and can absolutely step forward. What about

02:16love to shop? Who's multiple graded stakes place? I mean, you can make a

02:19case for so many in here. Alexa, let us know a few that are on your radar.

02:24Well, love to shop is my horse because I love shop. Um, but you know, she

02:28got second place in this race last year, and this was coming back for

02:32redemption. Lost a game last out in the Ontario fashion by just ahead. A

02:37game's the five in here at 10 to 1 odds. Another really good price play,

02:41I think, who made a huge improvement last out in that fashion stakes, um,

02:45jumping up quite a few speed points and stretching her out for long today.

02:50But with her closing running style, I think that should help. But my favorite

02:54is the first one. You mentioned, you know, storm cast at 12 to 1 odds. Um,

02:59she likes to go to the lead, and I think she should be able to get that

03:01position today towards the outside store. Miami, the number 14 super

03:06logical. Brendan Walsh has a couple live runners in these graded stakes

03:10races, too. So good luck in race number eight. As we turn the page to race

03:15number nine, it's the grade to autumn going a mile and 1 8th on the

03:19synthetic, a field of 12 in here. Some of the headliners, the one already

03:23storm who's a multiple graded stakes winner. The five Stanley House. He was

03:28like a really buzzy horse going into the King's plate last year. He was

03:32only 4 to 1 in the 2023 King's plate. He's gonna face the horse who defeated

03:37him in the 2023 King's plate. That's Paramount Prince. So we're talking

03:42about some very familiar runners up at Woodbine here in this one. Yeah, and

03:47an unfamiliar runner would bind that. I like those. The number 12 forever.

03:51Super. I think this horse is gonna be the one to beat time for me as predicts

03:54him to win his one half of his races and three straight, including the last

03:59two on synthetic on the surface, but will be his first time over this

04:03course. So, you know, a lot of here have that home field advantage, and he

04:06doesn't. For those of you who may not know, we talk about different types of

04:10race courses. There are different surfaces that horses run on. A lot of

04:13you may know about the dirt or the turf, but there are also synthetic

04:17surfaces, just like the one up at Woodbine. They're more made for, like,

04:20all weather. So that way, if it were to get really rainy a lot of times, those

04:24particular tracks, they drain better, and you don't have to get the sloppy

04:28surfaces that you might get with traditional dirt. So a horse who's been

04:32really good on the synthetic surfaces over. I get pressed aisle, and we'll

04:35see if they can transfer that form to the synthetic at Woodbine.
