Uncaptured will put his unbeaten record on the line against six rivals in
Sunday’s Grade 3, $200,000
Grey Stakes
at Woodbine. An impressive 3 1/4-length winner of the September 9 Swynford
Stakes in his last outing, the Mark Casse trainee will make his first start at
two turns as he preps for a possible start in the November 3 Breeders’ Cup
Juvenile at Santa Anita. Regular rider Patrick Husbands will be up on the dark
bay son of Lion Heart.
A nose debut winner going 4 1/2 furlongs on May 13, Uncaptured rolled to a 5
1/2-length victory when making his stakes bow in the 5 1/2-furlong Clarendon on
June 30. He followed it with an easy one-length tally in the six-furlong
Clarendon Stakes on July 28 and stretched out to seven furlongs in the Swynford.
The Ontario-bred colt figures to be a prohibitive betting favorite in the 1
1/16-mile Grey on Polytrack.
Swynford Stakes runner-up Five Iron will also return for the Grey. A sharp
four-length debut winner two back, the Brian Lynch-trained colt showed speed in
both career starts and should be forwardly-placed on Sunday with Alex Solis.
Casse is responsible for three of the entrants. Indiano Jones exits a
respectable third in the Grade 2 Summer Stakes on turf and Star Contender will
step up in class off a nice maiden score over the Polytrack.
Josie Carroll will send out a promising prospect in Tesseron, who rallied to
a good-looking maiden win in his September 3 career debut. River Seven is still
a maiden, but he’s placed in two previous stakes attempts. Mercenary, who exits
a sixth in the Summer, rounds out the field.
