Friday evening’s SWEET BRIAR TOO Stakes at Woodbine, named for the dam of Grade 1 winner and top sire Langfuhr, is a fun sprint stakes to headline Woodbine’s Racing Night Live show on TSN.
The 6 1/2 furlong dash on the Tapeta, Race 7, could go a long way to decide the Sovereign Award winner, at least finalists for Champion Sprint Female in Canada and Champion Older Female, Main Track.
PAINTING, a regally-bred 4-year-old filly from the powerful Josie Carroll barn, is a top contender for the Female Sprinter Sovereign Award based on a 95 Beyer Figure victory in the Grade 3 Ontario Fashion Stakes Sept. 26. Previously, the Hill ‘n’ Dale Equine Holdings, Inc and Glenn Sikura’s stretch-running daughter of Distorted Humor was second in the Grade 3 Seaway Stakes and Grade 3 Whimsical Stakes. She was also second in the 1 1/16 mile Trillium Stakes (G3).
