$125.000 2yoC&G 6 1/2f Dirt 122lbs +penalties
As one would expect, Mb Stables got the BC festivities kicked off in style with a win as The Gypsy King made a bold move as they turned for home and got home in front by a length to take The Nyquist for his first stakes score. The final running time was 1:161 for the six and a half furlongs. Blame The Force was second for Allinthegate, a neck better than Patriot in third and Holy Water got the minor share.

2 KEE The Songbird
$125.000 2yoF 6 1/2f Dirt 122lbs +penalties
Well, the girls went a couple of clicks faster than the boys as Sundress, owned by Our Athletes, made it two in a row with a front end, one length score here in The Songbird. Soye closed well but just couldn’t catch the winner, settling for the place, just a nose in front of Sheza Bombay, and Take On Me in fourth, both trained by Mb Stables. The final running time was 1:154 on the fast KEE main track.

$150.000 3yo 1 1/8m Dirt 122lbs +penalties
Greeko Holdem’s Nb Forrest pressed the pace throughout and wore them all down, taking The Bryan Station by a neck, scoring his first stakes win and proving to be one heck of a $12.500 claim (back in Aug). Class Factor and No More Haggis finished in a dead-heat for the second spot, a length better than Red Dawning in fourth. The final running time was 1:481 for the mile and an eighth main track event.

4 KEE The McConnell Springs
$150.000 3yo&Up F&M 6f Dirt 3yo 121lbs Older 124lbs
Empire World gave the performance of the day in my eye as the 3yo filly destroyed this field by three lengths in a final time of 1:09, giving Maxmillion Farm the win and proving to be another fantastic claim at the bargain price of $12.500. It was a blanket finish for the remaining spots as Oneida grabbed second by a nose at 30/1 odss, then Deeback in third by a head over Serious Speed.
