1-10 In 4 Horse Field Loses.

[BlueShoe]

At Woodbine Sunday, Embur's Song was 1-10 against 3 other 3 yr. old fillies in the featured Bison City Stakes, and lost. In all my years of racing, cannot ever recall a horse losing at such a short price in such a tiny field, certainly not in a stakes. This filly also lost last month at 2-5. During the running she never really appeared to be comfortable. No idea if perhaps she bled or suffered an injury. Sunday was also not a good day for chalk players in at least a couple of other places in Sundays stakes action. At Monmouth, Silver Timber lost at 3-10, and at Emerald, Noosa Beach got beat at 1-2. Both runners were second, as was Embur's Song.

Gentlemen a few years back for Mandella and Pat Day aboard. I believe a four or five horse field, and may have included an entry. Puerto Madero and Malek and the same gang prob. in field. Was it the '99 Big Cap or Hol Gold Cup? Off the board, and bridgejumpers were in...

It was not either the Big Cap or the Gold Cup in '99 that had a short priced favorite lose and off the board. Real Quiet won the Gold Cup (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzKcZF49X-E&feature=related) while Malek (8:5) ran 3rd and Free House (4:1) won the Big 'Cap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZYMzJTiBHI) while Silver Charm ran 3rd (1:1).

probably more often than every 1 out of 10 times, therefore a bad bet :)

First, I should have made it clear that Touch Gold ran last in that four-horse field.

And speaking of Gentlemen, I think that he finished off the board in the Woodbine Mile (called something else at that time) at very short odds on the afternoon of Touch Gold's Pegasus. I remember being at the Meadowlands when a guy in the row behind me told me about Gentlemen's Woodbine Mile race.

Actually, it was the 1998 SA Handicap. Gentlemen was 1-20 in a four horse field....finished last. Order of finish....> Malek, Bagshot, Don't Blame Rio, Gentlemen. This was the year that Gentlemen and Silver Charm were supposed to meet for a "showdown." Silver Charm had a slight cough or something to that extent, didn't run, and subsequently won that years Dubai World Cup.

mid-nineties ?

Won the Kent. Oaks; ran in the Black Eyed Susan in a five horse field @ 1/5 and finished last. Bridgejumper race; all show payoffs above $70.

BTW - this was the day I ran over and knocked down the "Bald Eagle" on my rush to the window when I saw the show pool jump 500 K one minute to post.

Atto Mile?

[onefast99]

The Woodbine Mile is a Grade I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graded_stakes_race) stakes race on turf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass) for Thoroughbred (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoroughbred) racehorses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_racing) three years old and up held annually in mid September at Woodbine Racetrack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodbine_Racetrack) in Toronto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto), Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada). Currently sponsored by Bell Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Canada), the Woodbine Mile carries a purse of $1 million and is a qualifying race for the Breeders' Cup Turf Mile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeders%27_Cup_Turf_Mile).

Part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge series, the winner of the 2008 Woodbine Mile automatically qualifies for the Breeders' Cup Mile (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breeders%27_Cup_Mile). [1] (http://www.breederscup.com/challenge.aspx)

The inaugural race in 1988 was sponsored by Molson Breweries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molson) with a purse of $750,000 and run as the Molson Export Challenge, reflecting the name of the company's flagship beer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer). It was changed to the Molson Export Million when the purse was increased to $1 million. In 1999, under new sponsorship it was renamed and raced as the Atto Mile until 2006.
