Meteor streaks (udated)

Kinghaven Farms' Ontario-bred TWILIGHT METEOR rocked the field in the $125,000 Woodford Reserve Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland this afternoon. The race, originally a turf event, was moved to the Polytrack and the Smart Strike colt became yet another stakes winner for his sire when he ran past Marcavelly.
Oh yeah - 97 Beyer Figure, making him one of the fastest Canadian-breds this year.
Remember Marcavelly? He was favoured in Woodbine's Summer Stakes on turf and was 2nd to the super filly Dreaming of Anna.
Another young Canadian bred to consider for next year's Queen's Plate - thank goodness as it was starting to look like our homebreds were not amounting to much this season. The local stakes calendar has been dominated this year by American-breds.
