English Channel’s Last Call Upsets the Natalma

[Wandering Eyes]

LAST CALL (f, 2, English Channel–Over Served, by Black Minnaloushe) broke her maiden in style with a 21-1 upset in the GI Natalma S. at Woodbine, a “Win and You're In” for the Breeders' Cup. Second on debut at this venue July 23, she was fourth last out going seven panels over this course Aug. 20. Dismissed by the bettors while shedding blinkers here, the $30,000 KEESEP acquisition was unhurried early, racing in second last off the rail as Star Candy (Candy Ride {Arg}) dictated terms, clocking a :24.27 opening quarter. Launching a two-wide bid approaching the bend, Last Call was four wide at the top of the lane and hit the front halfway home, holding off favored Cairo Consort (Cairo Prince) to score.
