ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The Grade 2, $175,000 Eclipse has a quality cast and is the marquee race among four graded events on the outstanding “Super Saturday Stakes” card at Woodbine. Canadian champions Tyson and Paramount Prince will clash in the 1 1/16-mile Eclipse. Tyson captured the 2023 Sovereign Award for champion older male on the main track off victories in the Grade 2 Seagram Cup and Grade 3 Dominion Day, for which he got a 101 Beyer Speed Figure. One of his better performances was a troubled third on dirt in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Saratoga. Tyson wintered in Florida before recording a series of solid Tapeta works here this spring. Kazushi Kimura will ride the striking gray for trainer Josie Carroll. Paramount Prince, the 2023 King’s Plate victor, is testing older stakes opposition for the first time in his second run of the year. He disposed of open first-level allowance company in his March 10 season opener over 1 1/8 miles on Gulfstream’s Tapeta after having everything his own way on the front end. Patrick Husbands will ride the fast breaker. Paramount Prince garnered last year’s Sovereign Award for champion male 3-year-old and was a Canadian Horse of the Year finalist. “He’s going to face open and older [company], so we’ll see what happens,” trainer Mark Casse said. “He ran well at Gulfstream.” Casse supplemented Get Smokin to the Eclipse, and the Hall of Famer also entered longshot Palazzi. The speedy millionaire Get Smokin has been sidelined since taking the rich Grade 2 Turf Cup at Kentucky Downs in September. The 7-year-old faded to 10th behind Modern Games after leading the way in the 2022 Woodbine Mile. “He’s never run on Tapeta, but he’s been training extremely well over it,” Casse pointed out. Palazzi is returning from a freshening and has been in a tailspin since winning three in a row here last summer, including the Grade 3 Singspiel. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match + FREE All Access PPs!

Trainer Katerina Vassilieva saddles Grade 3 winner Rondure, who wintered in Florida and won his return from an extended layoff in a seven-furlong conditioned allowance here May 11. “I’m happy with how he is coming into the Eclipse,” Vassilieva said. “He had a very good winter.” Completing the Eclipse lineup are Skyro, J P Hellish, and War Bomber. Belle Mahone Casse sends out Solo Album and Forever Dixie in the Grade 3, $135,000 Belle Mahone going 1 1/16 miles for females. Solo Album was second in the 2023 voting for champion 3-year-old filly behind stablemate Elysian Field. The highlight of her campaign was an authoritative score in the Grade 3 Selene, and she also beat the boys in the Grade 3 Ontario Derby before enduring a controversial disqualification. She barely picked up her feet when 10th in her March 23 season debut at Gulfstream. “You never know what you’re going to get with Solo Album,” Casse said. “She’s very hit-and-miss. The good news is she’s come back and trained very well” since her season opener. Forever Dixie left Solo Album behind her in second in the Ontario Damsel Stakes on the Tapeta in October. She also landed her April 21 seasonal bow in allowance company on the grass at Gulfstream. “She was impressive at Gulfstream,” Casse said. Millie Girl is returning from a layoff while making her first start since garnering the 2023 Sovereign for champion older female on the main track. Trained by Catherine Day Phillips, the late-blooming 6-year-old was highly competitive under a variety of conditions last year and won the Grade 3 Ontario Matron and Grade 3 Maple Leaf in the fall. Tito’s Calling is making her second start off the bench. She won last year’s 1 1/4-mile Wonder Where Stakes for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies. Trainer Mike DePaulo was content with her closing third in a 6 1/2-furlong allowance here May 4. “We’d never run her that short before; it was like a work race,” DePaulo said. “She’s got that race under her belt that will set her up to go two turns. This race will be tougher, but we’ll get a little weight from some of them. She’s been training really well.” Fashionably Fab has been working right along in advance of her 4-year-old debut. She reeled off four consecutive restricted stakes scores during the second half of 2023 for trainer Kevin Attard. Rounding out the Belle Mahone field are Saratoga Vision, Indy Champagne, Big Brass Bed, Witch Hazel, and Metaphysical. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
