Notes:
The Sovereign Award for Canada s top two-year-old male is likely up for grabs when seven entrants square off in the 250,000 Coronation Futurity for juveniles foaled in that country. Unbeaten G1 Grey S. hero Ami s Holiday is the headliner and retains jockey Luis Contreras, who was also aboard the colt s chief Futurity rival, Matador, in each of his three races. Ami s Holiday, a homebred for owner Ivan Dalos (Tall Oaks Farm), owns the top BRIS Speed Rating, a 90 earned in the Grey, in this field. The 2 nd highest such figure belongs to Matador, who earned an 89 when finishing 3 rd in the G2 Summer S. on the grass. Racing for the trainer/owner combo of Mark Casse and John Oxley, he followed that up with a gutsy maiden victory in the restricted Cup and Saucer S., which was over yielding turf. Majestic Sunset is an uncoupled stablemate of Matador for the same connections and winless in three starts, two of them stakes. He was 4 th, 3 frac14 lengths behind Matador, in the Cup and Saucer last out. The duo of conditioner Reade Baker and owner Bear Stables LTD also sends out a pair. Asserting Bear broke his maiden in his 2 nd try then finished behind Matador when a well-beaten 8 th in the Summer and a close 3 rd in the Cup and Saucer. Man o Bear completed the triactor in both the Vandal and Simcoe stakes to begin his career before beating non-winners. Heart to Heart won at 1 st asking then missed by a nose in the Vandal. He couldn t best open company in the Simcoe or a Keeneland allowance but can t be completely dismissed in this restricted spot. Maiden Wild Cal rounds out the field and looks up against it after failing to win at the MC 25000 and MC 40000 levels.
