Woodbine 50th season opens today!

High winds, a drying out track and 5 and 5 1/2 furlong dashes for the opening day card - look for those quick horses as it might be tricky to close ground in the stretch run this afternoon.
In addition to the first day of a new thoroughbred season, Gulfstream's Florida Derby day card (check out longshot Rehoboth as a possible play in the Derby itself) is jam-packed with quality stakes events and post time is a 12 noon.
A Queen's Plate contender worth watching today is Stronach Stables' Malakoff, who competes in a tough maiden race at Gulfstream.
The son of Lemon Drop Kid is listed at 12 to 1 in the Daily Racing Form morning line for the day's 4th event. If this colt can beat Darley Stud's Tall Story, who is coming out of one of the strongest key maiden races of the entire meeting, he could win.
Heads up for readers of the Toronto Star (www.thestar.com):
Results charts have been shrunk down and some information has been eliminated. Since it won't be until tomorrow's paper that we see the changes, let's reserve judgement until then.
