<sub>Hello and welcome to the running of the final leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the Year Twelve Breeder's Stakes! Now this race, one out of three races, is one of the hardest to win for two reasons. One being the distance. At twelve furlongs this is a race that will test the endurance and speed of every entrant. These horses and jockeys will have to be wise and tactical in this race, a half-cocked racing plan won't get you the win here.

The other factor that sets this series apart from all others is that the Breeder's Stakes is run on turf. The other two prior races are run on the dirt, making it a true accomplishment for any horse to claim the title of being a Canadian Triple Crown Winner....

The grandstands are packed out and the crowd is all abuzz and they have a few reasons to be chatty. The three horses entered into this grand finale are all worthy of talk. The betting boards are going crazy. Instant Success in gate one has a 2:1 odd, Infinite Warcry 4:1 and Frozen Motion is sitting on 3:1 odds. There really isn't a single long shot out on the field and each horse is looking in top form. Some in the crowd are pulling for the slight favorite, Instant Success. If this small chestnut can pull off the win, he'll be the first CTC Winner and bring a second major series title to Silver Stride Stables. We'll we are about to find out, let's go to the post parade.

Leading the train is Instant Success from Silver Stride Stables. Ridden by jockey Jacob Donovan, the slight race favorite is looking to be mildly energetic. Amazing, since he's been running in these top races closely. He's won the first two legs of the CTC easily with no one to really challenge the dirt winner, but now he's on turf. Though he's been seen to run on the turf, most of his career however has been built on the dirt and these other two entrants are in their element. Instant Success is really going to have to pull something out of his hat of tricks to hold off these worthy contenders. He's approaching the gate now...he tosses his head a little bit, giving his jockey a little fight, but he settles and otherwise loads without a problem. Next to load is Infinite Warcry.

Infinite Warcy is moving solidly, his jockey Amber Black looks very calm and collected as she guides her sedate looking giant. This tall black colt looks like he's bored with this whole show, but he's perking up a bit as he sees the gate; if perking means he raised his head slightly. Don't be deceived though ladies and gentlemen, this quite colt has some of the quickest acceleration skills I've ever seen. This colt isn't a stranger to the winner's circle and has had a killer season so far, winning the Wire Finish Cup Turf, the Derby Stakes and the Preakness Champion Stakes. Needless to say, this colt knows how to close the deal from behind and he shouldn't be written off in the least. He's loading quite nicely and he's settled. Now for the final entry.

Frozen Motion is on the track and approaching the gate. This grey colt hails from Witch Creek Stables and is being ridden by his jockey Brookson Wells who is also the assistant trainer. This grey colt won two of the three legs of the Turf Triple Crown, but was denied the title by arch rival, Infinite Warcry. These two colts really battle it out on the track. He's seen his foe ahead and is getting a little aggressive, but his jockey is keeping him in check. Brooks waves off the extra hand and pushes his mount forward into the gates.

Alright they're all loaded and the murmuring in the stands is seeming to come to a hush. The horses stamp in their slots...waiting...

AND THEY'RE OFF!

Frozen Motion is the clear leader here. He's usually a pace presser, but with Infinite Warcry and Instant Success running in the back, the grey colt has the lead all to himself. Infinite Warcry broke clean, but almost lethargically. Amber needs to shake this guy awake before he gets left in the dust...Instant Success broke a little bit ahead of Infinite Warcry, but Amber doesn't look to concerned.

Brooks has finally got Frozen Motion settled into his stride, he had set a quick pace out of that gate, wanting to put a lot of distance between himself and his arch foe causally cruising four furlongs behind, Instant Success has settled three behind and his jockey doesn't look to concerned with Frozen Motion's lead. Brooks is giving his mount a breather, to recover from that volatile start, but not enough for Instant Success to gain. Infinite Warcry is still trailing as the trio flies into the fifth furlong at 1:06.82. Not horrendous, but with no clear front runner and Brooks holding the grey in check, we won't see any time records broken today.

Brooks is doing a great job keeping Frozen Motion in check, there's still half of a race to go and this colt is going to have to fend off two top closers. They're around the turn with little changing in the pecking order. Instant Success is mindful of Infinite Warcry who's running strong and steady.

And now steady through the backstretch, the final turn is approaching and there he goes. Instant Success is inching a lead on Infinite Warcry and gaining on Frozen Motion! They are in the final stretch and now is the time for action. The crowds are roaring and cheering on their favorites! Will there be a CTC Winner this year? Brooks is letting Frozen motion have his head and he's pulling away, but Instant Success is already on a roll and nullifies what would be a gain in distance. And where is Infinite Warcry in all of this? There is only three furlongs left and Frozen Motion is battling to hold his lead from the smaller chestnut, but what is this?!

Look at this explosive charge being made by Infinite Warcy! It looks like this sleeping giant has finally awakened! But will he have enough time to catch the two dueling colts? I can't believe this. Infinite Warcy is closing the four furlong gap and with two left in the race the crowd is on their feet!!!

The three colts are running head to head, but look!!! Frozen Motion has flattened out and falls to third. One furlong, but Frozen Motion seems to have found a second wind and so has Infinite Warcry!! Unbelievable. Instant Success tries to snatch the win from the black colt, but Infinite Warcry isn't paying the chestnut any mind, his eyes fixed on the prize. Frozen Motion has his eyes locked on the two and he's back in the GAME! He's not about to let his rival slip away! AND the three horses sweep by the finish!!!

We're going to have to go to the picture to call this one...

Win Infinite Warcry
Place Frozen Motion
Third Instant Success

Comments; SO HARD. I couldn't place Instant Success above these two...yes he's grade one and experienced, but his experience is on the dirt. Frozen Motion and Infinite Warcy had such a strong rivalry and they were both well-rested and in their element. Great horses all-around. I wish they all could have won.</sub>
