1st: #1 Cackle Street (The Sidley Stud/K. Kimura 123): Reserved on the rail early. Moved to the two-path and picked-off a couple runners down the bck to be fourth as they neared the final bend. Ramped-up pressure on exiting the turn and drew off in the latter stages to win by almost two lengths.
2nd: #5 Anivia (BomBay Stables/L. Contreras 120): Three-wide in tracking group early. Got to the two-path while two back of the leader down the backside. Moved for the lead at the head of the stretch but couldn’t keep pace with the winner.
3rd: #7 Starship Twister (TwinTowersRacing/G. Boulanger 123): Set a tepid pace on the front end. Began feeling pressure around turn for home. Was headed a furlong out and couldn’t keep up with the top two.
Congratulations to Cackle Street and The Sidley Stud on winning the G3 Maple Leaf Stakes at WO!
