After wide debut journey, Everyday Magic needs to save ground

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – There’s no shortage of maidens on Friday’s nine-race Woodbine card, including some promising 2-year-old fillies in the second race, a one-mile maiden-special route scheduled for lane 2 on the main turf.

Everyday Magic raced quite wide throughout while closing for third when debuting in a seven-furlong maiden special on the grass Aug. 28. The average winning distance of her sire Tiznow’s progeny is 7.7 furlongs, which suggests that she should welcome the stretch-out to a mile on Friday.

Patrick Husbands retains the mount on Everyday Magic for leading trainer Mark Casse, who has a solid 22 percent strike rate with maiden 2-year-old second-timers at Woodbine over the past five years.

Sweet Bombolini was a well-beaten sixth at first asking in a Tapeta sprint, before finishing a close second after taking the long way around in a five-furlong maiden special on the inner turf. The daughter of stamina sire Bernardini is the first foal from a stakes-winning sprinter-miler on the local lawn, the speedy Silent Treat.

Luis Contreras will ride Sweet Bombolini again for trainer Gail Cox.

Unraced Broken Proposal is by Broken Vow, who’s sired 9 percent 2-year-old debut winners and nearly 13 percent turf winners. Her stakes-placed dam has produced three turf winners but no juvenile winners from five starters.

Gary Boulanger rides Broken Proposal, a Sam-Son Farm homebred, for successful debut trainer Stuart Simon. That jockey-trainer combo is 4 for 11 at the meet.

Loaded Vixen led until about the sixteenth pole before fading to third when moving out to a route in her second start on the Tapeta. Her second-year sire, Reload, was a grade 3-winning turf-miler who’s sired nearly 7 percent grass winners. Her unraced dam has dropped one turf winner from three starters.

Souper Hoity Toity is another Casse-trained second-time starter who’s bred to run long on the sire’s side. The daughter of Uncle Mo finished fourth at 5-2 in an Aug. 21 maiden special at Ellis Park.

Flippin is debuting for second-leading trainer Kevin Attard after working a bullet half-mile in 47.20 seconds on the Tapeta last Saturday. The daughter of 5 percent grass sire Flat Out is a half-sister to a pair of grass winners.

In the seventh race, stakes winner Get None is protected in a $7,500 starter allowance that has a $15,000 claiming option.

Trained by Hugo Rodriguez, Get None wired Illinois-breds in her last race on Polytrack in the six-furlong Isaac Murphy Stakes, which was her 11th score from 25 starts.

Dancing Doll should be the main threat to Get None in the five-furlong inner-turf dash. She won her last three races on turf and the Tapeta, and is debuting off a $25,000 claim by trainer Marty Drexler, a 21 percent angle.
