SEVEN SEEK HEAVEN IN PRINCE OF WALES

Draw day is today, at 2 p.m. the post positions will be drawn for Sunday’s PRINCE OF WALES STAKES, an event inaugurated in 1929 (although it has not been run every year).

The field is a small one but the top 4 choices seem to have almost an equal chance of winning and the race tactics will be key.

  The FORECAST is for sun and 30 degrees, and that, in Fort Erie language is very hot!

  WINNER

 

FORT ERIE’S KRISTA CARIGNAN to ride OH CANADA

Last season’s leading rider at Fort Erie KRISTA CARIGNAN will ride Frank DiGiulio’s OH CANADA in the Prince of Wales. The quirky fellow, who was on the lead in the Plate with his blinkers on, faded that day and may be better in a sprint. Still, he has shown plenty of ability and the pace could be slow in the 1 3/16 mile Wales.
