woodstock stakes | Horse Racing Free Tips

New York Thunder (Nyquist) declared victory in his first stakes attempt for AMO Racing at Woodbine on Saturday. Perfect in his only two career starts towards the end of his juvenile year, the bay colt was a debut winner Nov. 27 at Gulfstream by 6 1/2 lengths sprinting over the Tapeta. He then switched to turf against optional claimers in Hallandale and drove clear by 1 3/4 length.

After working out in Kentucky for nearly two months, the Jorge Delgado trainee shipped to Canada and was well-regarded at the windows as the heavy 1-5 favorite. Utilizing his early speed, New York Thunder tore through the fractions with a half-mile at :45.18, and into the stretch extended his lead to win going away by 7 lengths over Ninetyfour Expos (Outwork).

The winner is his unraced dam's first to the starting gate and only recorded offspring. He is part of an extended female family that includes third dam Surf Club (Ocean Crest)'s half-sister GISW Awesome Humor (Distorted Humor). His third dam produced GISW Emcee (Unbridled's Song) and SP Baffled (Distorted Humor), who is responsible for MGISW Constitution (Tapit).

Jockey Justin Stein doubled up in this weekend's stakes action at Woodbine when the Wesley Ward-trained Outadore rallied to victory in the $125,000 Woodstock Stakes for three-year-olds on Sunday afternoon.

“I'm just fortunate to be on the right horse on the right day,” said Stein, who also won the first stakes of the meet on Saturday, with Star Shoot winner Can't Buy Love for conditioner Michael Trombetta.

In the Woodstock, Stein had Outadore positioned mid-pack before sending the Outwork colt three-wide into contention on the turn and kicking clear down the lane to win in 1:09.77 over six furlongs on the Tapeta.

Outadore paid $5.90 to win as the slight second choice to Jaxon Traveler, who appeared on the lead briefly at the start and finished 1-1/4 lengths behind the winner in second. Ward also picked up third money with Chasing Artie closing from the back under Kazushi Kimura. They were followed by Sky's Not Falling, Master Spy, Derzkii, and pacesetter Saturday George (:23.21, :45.82).

“He broke sharp, he broke hard, but we were out-run, out-footed early,” said Stein. “He settled into stride in behind and when I called on him, he really kicked. He dug in, he's a runner. He's a nice horse.”

Following up a victory in the Animal Kingdom Stakes in late March at Turfway Park, Outadore is now two-for-two to start his sophomore season. Owned by Breeze Easy LLC, the Kentucky-bred gave way to finish third in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last year and now has four wins from six career starts and more than a half-million dollars in purse earnings.
