BYE BYE BERNIE
Trainer: Brendan Walsh
Last race: June 5, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 1 1/2

He finished third in the key Connaught Cup. The top two finishers in that Grade 2 stakes, Dimension and Passion for Action, both came back to win a G2 event, with a triple-digit Beyer. Fourth-place finisher Glenville Gardens subsequently notched a $40K starter allowance with a 91 Beyer.

NEVAEH’S VALENTINE
Trainer: Earl Barnett
Last race: July 3, 11th
Finish: 1st by 3 1/2
Beyer: 85

After setting a lively pace, he won his maiden with ease against winners in a two-turn Ontario-sired allowance. The lightly raced 4-year-old is eligible for the same event because of the non-winners-of-two clause in the conditions.

ALL ON RED
Trainer: Sid Attard
Last race: July 3, 10th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 83
He made up significant ground from off sleepy fractions to finish third in the Queen’s Plate on the Tapeta. The second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown is the Prince of Wales Stakes on the dirt at Fort Erie, and he graduated with determination over Aqueduct’s main track in April.
