Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 18, 2020 Journalists Share Posted October 18, 2020 SAY THE WORD (g, 5, More Than Ready–Danceforthecause, by Giant’s Causeway) uncorked a last-to-first rally in Sunday’s GI Northern Dancer S. at Woodbine to post a mild 5-1 upset. The dark bay dropped out the back under Emma-Jayne Wilson as favorite Admiralty Pier (English Channel) did as he pleased up front. He was ridden for more to inch slightly closer heading for the home as stablemate and fellow Sam-Son representative Count Again (Awesome Again) took the first major run at the fronrunner. Admiralty Pier and Count Again continued to trade jabs to midstretch, but neither had any response for Say the Word as he blew to the front over the top with Sir Sahib (Fort Larned) mirroring that move to complete the exacta. The winner stopped the clock in 2:29.87 and reported home about a length to the good. Say the Word upended a 1 3/16-mile Saratoga optional claimer Aug. 14 at 51-1 while being offered up for the $62,500 tag. He was most recently third behind Count Again and Sir Sahib in the 10-panel GIII Singspiel S. here Sept. 19. His lone 1 1/2-mile outing came when second in the 2018 Breeders’ S. here while under the turelage of Graham Motion. Lifetime Record: 25-5-2-4. O/B-Sam-Son Farm (ON). T-Gail Cox.
