Prince of Wales Stakes: Dynamic Sky, Spring in the Air scratched

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Mark Casse's four-horse contingent for Tuesday's $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes has been cut in half, as neither Dynamic Sky nor Spring in the Air made the trip from Woodbine to Fort Erie on Tuesday morning.

"Dynamic Sky had a little issue pop up yesterday – not a big one, but it was bad timing," Casse said. "Hopefully, he's already better today, but we're just going to give him a few days off and hopefully aim for the Breeders' [Stakes]. We're saving Spring in the Air for the Wonder Where [Stakes]."

The $500,000 Breeders' Stakes, a 1 1/2-mile turf race that is the final leg of the Triple Crown for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds, will be run here Aug. 18. The $250,000 Wonder Where, a 1 1/4-mile turf race for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies, will be run here Sunday.

Dynamic Sky and Spring in the Air had been the second and third favorites on the morning line for the Prince of Wales at 3-1 and 4-1.

Uncaptured, who had been pegged at 9-5, and Jagger M, at 6-1, are the remaining Casse entrants and now will go off at considerably lower prices in the field of six for the 1 3/16-mile Prince of Wales, which follows the Queens' Plate as the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown.
