ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Saratoga shipper The Big Con added Lasix for a chalky score in Sunday’s $152,400 Grey, one of two Grade 3 stakes for 2-year-olds on the Woodbine card. Gone With Duwyn cut out moderate splits on the dead Tapeta surface while The Big Con saved ground in a stalking position on the backstretch in the 1 1/16-mile event. The Big Con ($3.60) rallied inside to assume command in midstretch while Silent Tactic took the overland route from the back of the pack. The Big Con dug in late to prevail by three-quarters of a length, in a time of 1:46.57. Wembley Avenue, at 83-1, finished 1 1/2 lengths back of Silent Tactic in third. Buium was a wide fourth in the seven-horse field. :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing! DRF Past Performances and Picks are available now. Sahin Civaci, Woodbine’s leading rider in 2024 who is now based in Aqueduct, rode The Big Con for trainer Miguel Clement. “My only concern was when I got to the lead, he perked his ears forward and put the brakes on,” Civaci said. “I was asking him a lot and he wasn’t responding. Once the horse on the outside inched up closer, that’s when he responded and kicked in again. I had a ton of horse left.” An unbeaten son of Dark Angel bred in Great Britain, The Big Con collected $90,000 for the partnership of Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Tony Weintraub, and Brandon Dalinka. *** Favored Dixie Law took to the Tapeta like a duck to water in the $173,700 Mazarine for 2-year-old fillies. With Rafael Hernandez aboard, Dixie Law raced on the outside in fourth on the backstretch as Bold Time set tepid fractions in the 1 1/16-mile route. Dixie Law made an eye-catching move on the far turn to hit the front at the top of the stretch and then coasted home on top by 1 1/4 lengths, in a time of 1:46.71. Vanity and the slow-starting Katie’s Grace both rallied outside to finish second and third, respectively, in the six-horse field. An Ontario-bred by Tiz the Law, the physically imposing Dixie Law was making her first start on Tapeta and looks like a prospect for next year’s Woodbine Oaks and King’s Plate. “I think the farther she goes, the better she is,” winning trainer Dale Desruisseaux said. “She’s trained well all year. She’s been a really nice filly.” Dixie Law ($6.10) earned $108,000 in her second stakes win for owner-breeder Garland Williamson’s Hillsbrook Farm. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
