Scorching!

That word doesn’t just describe the weather in southern Ontario, but also how fast the two-year-old colt SCORCHING ran as he crushed yearling sale graduates in the $200,000 Simcoe Stakes at Woodbine on August 25. The yearling sales stakes are held annually before the CTHS Ontario Yearling Sale which is on Wednesday this week at 11 a.m.

Scorching, making his second career start after a strong second-place finish behind whiz-kid Cut the Dust, zoomed to the lead and kept going under Patrick Husbands to win the 6 1/2 furlong race on Tapeta by 5 lengths in the quick time of 1:17.57 – an 80 Beyer Speed Figure.
