3rd-Woodbine, C$77,409, Msw, 5-12, 2yo, 4 1/2f (AWT), :52.57, ft, head.
SOL DE VERANO (c, 2, Thousand Words–Thank You Note, by Uncle Mo) made his first start as a 6-1 shot here. The dark bay bounced out of the inside gate and immediately hugged the fence. Flashing some strong foot, the colt took the lead up the backstretch, but he felt the pressure as the rest of the field bore down on him. Bottled up just behind the leader entering the lane, Admiral Nelson (Lord Nelson) looked for running room, but the pacemaker was in control with a sixteenth left found the wire by a head. The winner's dam foaled a colt by Midshipman last year. Sol de Verano is the second winner for his first-crop sire (by Pioneerof the Nile). Sales History: $12,000 Ylg '23 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,508. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
