Mark Dodson's homebred Notorious Gangster had a speedy breeze at Woodbine on July 31 as he continues on his way to the Plate.

Scrappy son of Classic Empire enjoys the seven furlongs of Queenston and overcomes slow pace to get the win for Mark Dodson.

Slowly but surely, horses are starting to appear on track as they make their way to the Canadian classics this summer.
