Race #2 13:20 Shady Well Stakes
6 1/2 Furlongs Turf Stake Purse $150.000 Filly 2 Year Olds Foaled In ON.
1st She Needsa Brazilian, trained by Hawaiian Shirt Guy
Well whoever this horse is named after can go ahead and book a trip to the beauticians because this daughter of Condottieri looks a very nice juvenile which could go all the way. Sitting in todays preferred position of a loose stalk, she picked up the two leaders and ran away for a fairly easy one length win. Very much a turf type she will be hard to beat on the surface all the time she is in this sort of form.
2nd Phunk, trained by Eastern Equine
Right on the speed from the off, she couldn’t resist the winner, but ran a much better race to be second in this competitive race. She certainly looked at home on the surface and had the rest well beaten, so she may turn out to be a decent turf sprinter.
3rd Buck Warrior, trained by Canadian Racing
Couldn’t confirm the Nadi form with Phunk on this surface and was a pretty well beaten third in the end. This wasn’t a bad run, but she may find her future is on the dirt.
4th Sprint Gift, Night Rider Stables
Taken to the trail, she ran on pretty well to be fourth and certainly looks a decent claim.
