Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 4 Journalists Posted October 4 Making his first start in North America, SILAWI (IRE) (g, 5, Dubawi {Ire}–Silasol {Ire}, by Monsun {Ger}) got brave on the front end at odds of 10-1 to upset even-money favorite Nations Pride (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) in the GI Pattison Canadian International Stakes at Woodbine Saturday. The Irish-bred picked up his third win this year having entered here off a victory in the G3 Weatherbys Global Stallions App Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor Aug. 23. Showing natural early speed from an outside draw, Silawi slipped away early as Nations Pride and My Boy Prince (Cairo Prince) took up the chase with a lap to run. But even as the field was well into the backstretch the second time around, it was clear Nations Pride wasn't cutting into the gap under jockey Billy Loughnane who picked up the mount from the injured William Buick. Off the turn completely alone, it was up to American Tawny Port (Pioneerof the Nile) to run him down from along the fence but he came up just short as Silawi had just enough to hold off the run for the win. Lifetime Record: 26-4-4-4. O-Wathnan Racing; B-Wertheimer et Frere; T-H.A. Al Jehani.
