Sheri Riddoch’s Best Bets for Saturday’s Four Graded Stakes
We have four mostly competitive graded stakes on tap for a great Saturday of racing. I say mostly because Patches has scared everyone away, but crazy things happen in short fields so I may just be putting the jinx on. Here is how I am looking at things with a $20 win bet on my top selections and sprinkling the longshots in underneath. Race 1 G3 Jacques Cartier Top Selection: #2 Patches O’Houlihan 1-9 This compact field indicates the respect the competition has for this incredibly talented 5yr old champion – who scarily looks stronger this season. He made short…

There has not been a 1-to-20 horse at Woodbine since 2019 when Prized Bourbon returned…
