He has the third-best Beyer Speed Figure (from Daily Racing Form) of all two-year-olds in North America this year and on October 14, MY BOY PRINCE will try to win one of Canada’s oldest restricted stakes races.
The steel-grey son of Cairo Prince, owned by Gary Barber and bred by Murray Smith, will be odds-on for the 86th Cup & Saucer Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on turf at Woodbine Saturday. The colt, who posted a 95 Beyer when he won the Simcoe Stakes at 6 1/2 furlongs on Tapeta in August, comes off a valiant effort in the Grade 1 Summer Stakes after he had to return to the walking ring pre-race and have a shoe repaired.
Sahin Civaci, who rode My Boy Prince in his Simcoe win, is back to ride the Mark Casse trainee. The colt will also be back on Lasix after he had to race without the diuretic in the ‘Win and You’re In’ Summer Stakes.
