The 2010 Canadian Stakes Results

Kent Desormeaux Says:

A small field of six go postward in the $300,000 Grade 2 Canadian Stakes on the Woodbine turf Sept. 19. Points of Grace came close to winning the Canadian last year, opening up a clear lead in the stretch before weakening late to finish fourth. Points of Grace was a sharp 2 1/4-length winner of the nine-furlong Dance Smartly Stakes. 4-year-old Miss Kellar figures to be the primary threat. This late runner won the one-mile De La Rose Stakes over the inner turf course at Saratoga last month. She followed that effort with a belated third-place showing in the 1-1/16-mile Ballston Spa Handicap, over the same course, coming up 1-1/2 lengths shy of the front-running winner. Magic Broomstick, trained by Mark Frostad for Sam-Son Farms, gave a game accounting in her stakes debut in the Dance Smartly. She closed stoutly along the inside to finish fourth, just a neck behind Points of Grace. Latin Love comes from Ireland and comes off of a win in a non-graded stakes - world class jockey Garret Gomez elects to ride her so she must be pretty good. Lemon Twirl and 3-year-old Jennys So Great round out the field.
