Heartwarming Journey for Carson’s Run’s Connections Continues in Woodbine’s WAYI Summer

[Wandering Eyes]

West Point Thoroughbreds and Steven Bouchey's feel-good story about Carson's Run (c, 2, Cupid-Hot N Hectic, by Henny Hughes) just got even better, as the 2-year-old colt captured the GI Bet365 Summer S. at Woodbine, a “Win and You're In” event offering the winner a free berth into the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita Nov. 3. With the start of the C$500,000 race delayed several moments due to a last-minute shoe repair for 9-5 pick My Boy Prince (Cairo Prince), that one set the early :23.46 and :47.10 pace while Carson's Run lingered at the back of the field, saving ground on the inside. They came off the turn with My Boy Prince in front on the rail as Carson's Run hurtled around the middle of the course with an Arazi-like move in search of a clear run. He sailed on by to win by about two lengths, with My Boy Prince holding off the filly Go With Gusto (Medaglia d'Oro) for third. Final time for the mile on the lawn was 1:35.70.
