Shaman Ghost’s Sedburys Ghost Runs Them Down Late to Win Plate Trial at Woodbine

[Wandering Eyes]

Coming into the race with live running lines under his belt, Sedburys Ghost (Shaman Ghost) took home the Plate Trial Stakes at Woodbine, and is one step closer to emanating his sire on the Road to the King's Plate.

Having last been seen running fourth in the GIII Marine Stakes June 28 in his first attempt at 1 1/16-miles, the betting public let the Yawen Wu homebred go at 7-1 odds here as trainer Barbara Minshall tasked her charge to take another step up in distance for the Plate Trial.

Content to watch the race unfold as a group in front of him contested the pace through :22.84, :47.22, and six furlongs in 1:12.10, he inched closer through the final bend to be the looming danger coming off it as Scorching (Mo Town) tried to mount a response to hold on to his lead. Grinding past that rival in midstretch, Sebdurys Ghost kicked on well to claim a clear victory. Notorious Gangster (Classic Empire) ran on late to claim second while Scorching held third.

The final time was 1:50.37.

O/B-Yawen Wu (ONT); T-Barbara Minshall.
