At 8h00, on October 13, 2018 • By Christian Gendron
On October 13th at Woodbine in the 9th race (The Canadian Pattisson International, Grade 1, $ 800,000 Scholarship), a Win Placed Show on No 4 Funtastic (8/1), an Exacta Box on 4,6 with 2,4,6,7,10 and a Trifecta bet on 2,4,6 with 2,4,6 with 2,4,5,6,9,10. Expect action, many horses like to come back from behind but few like the front. The three favorites regularly use the same strategy, to be patient and to attack in the stretch line. No 2 Thundering Blue (2/1) comes from Britain and the mandatory 126 pounds do not scare her, they run with weights over 130 pounds. This horse has the experience and the talent to win this race. No 10 Desert Encounter (6/1) also arrives from Britain and will be a threat in the last moments of the race but it will take speed forward. No 4 Funtastic (8/1), a neglected, will be in the front. During his last race, he had to run in the shadow of the leaders and it is not his style but the fractions were too fast and he preferred patience with no good results. There, he will have John Valasquez and in my opinion, he will be ahead and John will try everything to keep honest fractions and if it is possible, it will be difficult to beat.
Jockey John Valasquez 20 % – Coach: Chad Brown 27 %
