Is it Baker’s ‘Lucky’ Day?

Gunpowder Farms’s Prince of Wales S. winner Breaking Lucky (Lookin at Lucky) looks to make it two in a row for trainer Reade Baker in Woodbine’s Breeders S. Sunday. A second-out graduate on the synthetic here Apr. 18, the chestnut missed by just a head to Field of Courage (Marchfield) when trying two turns for the first time here May 10. Seventh when attempting similar conditions over the main track here June 6, he was fifth in the Queen’s Plate S. July 5 prior to his win in the Prince of Wales at Fort Erie July 28, and tries turf for the first time here.

John Oxley’s Field of Courage is one of two entrants from the Mark Casse barn. Graduating at second asking on the main track here Sept. 21, the dark bay followed suit with a pair of wins on the synthetic here Apr. 25 and May 10, respectively. Fifth in the Plate Trial S. over this strip June 14, he was third last time in the Prince of Wales. Winner of last term’s Swynford S., stablemate Conquest Boogaloo (Scat Daddy) was third in the Plate Trial and the Queen’s Plate, and was fifth last time in the Prince of Wales.

Charles Fipke homebred Danish Dynaformer (Dynaformer) finished third in the GIII Marine S. here May 16 and won the Plate Trial next out. The Roger Attfield trainee was second in the Queen’s Plate and a non-factor sixth last time in the Prince of Wales.

Another contender who could make some noise here is Augustin Stable’s Lucky Lindy (Harlan’s Holiday), trained by Mark Frostad. The bay earned his diploma in his second start in an off-the-turfer here June 5 and missed by just a nose in a grassy allowance at this venue July 5. The bay finished second when last seen in the Toronto Cup over this turf course July 26.
