Walton Street Airs in Canadian International

[Wandering Eyes]

Walton Street (GB) (g, 7, Cape Cross {Ire}–Brom Felinity {Aus}, by Encosta de Lago {Aus}) sat in a perfect spot beneath Frankie Dettori chasing behind a longshot leader in second, crept closer on the far turn, gained command as they cornered for home and drew clear in the stretch to win for fun in Saturday's GI Pattison Canadian International S. at Woodbine. Desert Encounter (Ire) (Halling) was second; Primo Touch (Midas Touch {GB}) was third. The 4-5 favorite completed 1 1/2 miles in 2:29.07. Walton Street, winner of the G2 Dubai City of Gold S. at Meydan Mar. 6, entered off a third-place finish in the G1 Longines Grosser Preis von Berlin Aug. 8. He was receiving first-time Lasix in the Canadian International. Lifetime Record: 19-7-4-4. O-Godolphin; B-Darley (GB); T-Charles Appleby.

Pedigree Notes:

Walton Street is the top performer out of the Australian G2 Matriarch S. winner Brom Felinity (Aus) (Encosta De Lago {Aus}), a sister to G1 Australian Guineas victor Delago Brom (Aus). The mare has to date produced four winners in Australia, Britain, Dubai and France, including the six-time scorer Macavity (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}). Grandam Brompton Cross (Aus) (El Qahira {NZ}) was, like her daughter, a Group 2 winner at Flemington, her biggest success coming in the Edward Manifold S. Brom Felinity was sold by Godolphin in July 2016 for 15,000gns to Ebor Bloodstock. The mare's current yearling, a colt by Oasis Dream (GB), fetched 34,000gns at last year's Tattersalls December Sale. She had a filly by Oasis Dream this year.
