Worthy of comment is the progeny record of Yo Joe's sire, Wertaloona. Wertaloona has 6 named 2-year olds, 2 have raced and both are winners, and they have earned a total of $85,245. Overall, in 8 crops of racing age, he's had 41 foals, 30 starters and 24 winners.
Katolak Cowboy who finished 7th in his debut on April 20, becomes our first return runner. He will again try 2 furlongs at Woodbine. Three of his opponents are back, Tin Pan Alley Cat who finished 5th, Player's List who was 8th, and Can'tstopthiscat who finished 3rd.
Go Smarty Go (colt; Smarty Jones - Sarah's World by Holy Bull) worked 3 furlongs in :37.44 at Belmont Park.
It was all about the girls at Woodbine, as fillies took the first three spots. This is not an uncommon phenomenon in baby races, as fillies, like human girls, mature faster than colts.
Our first Saarland starter will take to the track at Woobine. 5 other first-year stallions are represented in this race, Roar of the Tiger (Can'tstopthiscat), Alke (Dublin Lane), Cuvee (Cuvee Star), Roaring Fever (Tin Pan Alley Cat), and Gimmeawink (Player's List).
