Dragon's Cry likely for Clarendon Stakes
ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Dragon’s Cry upset the heavily favored Signature Spring to earn his first stakes victory in the Bull Page Stakes on Oct. 10 and now appears likely for Woodbine’s $150,000 Clarendon Stakes for Ontario-bred 2-year-olds over six furlongs on Tapeta on Nov. 5.
“I would think that would be the next move,” trainer Robert Tiller said.
Dragon’s Cry has won back-to-back races and was a runner-up in his Aug. 20 career debut. Tiller said it appears that Dragon’s Cry has come out of the Bull Page in good order.
Sheena Ryan was aboard Dragon’s Cry in the Bull Page and recorded her first Woodbine stakes victory. Ryan has been aboard Dragon’s Cry in each of the colt’s three starts. Tiller has given a leg up to Ryan 16 times this season, with both wins thus far coming with Dragon’s Cry, but the two have been in the money in 50 percent of those starts.
“Sheena works hard,” Tiller said. “She’s got enough experience to know what she’s doing. She’s a fine rider.”
