This Sunday Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto will run the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile, a key prep race for the Breeders' Cup Mile. The past several years this race has produced such winners as Ventura (who won in a track record time of 1:32.04 in 2009), Leroidesanimaux (2005), Shakespeare (2007), and Soaring Free (2004).
The draw for this year's Grade 1 Woodbine Mile took place at Woodbine this morning with thirteen horses gaining entry into the $1 million race. The Usual Q.T. ships in from California and returns to the grass after a disappointing try in the Pacific Classic on August 28th, along with three other California horses: Victor's Cry, Crowded House (GB) (2nd in the Pacific Classic), and Riviera Cocktail.
Entries, post positions and morning line odds are below the jump.
