"It is absolutely dead silent out here on the racetrack as the horses walk up to the gate. The anticipation is almost material and it is clogging the atmosphere here at The Wire like nothing I've felt before. It is a mix of old and new and yet the modern and the historic are all vying for the same ribbon of tradition. For a horse to win three races in a row is a rare feat and to put them all together against other tough horses... well that's even tougher. Anodyne will attempt to do this after capturing the Queen's Plate and Prince of Wales Stakes. He has become one of the most loved three year olds of the season, running into the crowds hearts as quickly as he runs on the track.

He will be faced by Stride of Perfection's Call Of The Wild who is coming off of two devastating losses, one behind the top turf distance filly in The Devil's Hourglass in the Belmont Turf Classic. His connections know he can win and hope he can poise the upset today. Star Thoroughbreds, another older stable, is suffering through a lull, but they bring their beautifully bred filly, Fly By Darkness, to the table. The chestnut filly will be taking on a group way over her head, but there must be a reason she is entered. Her workout was above average and it is rumored she has been galloping two turf miles every day. She is not the only filly entered. The newest stable of the bunch, Grayson Meadows, sends out Daddy's Overdraft. The filly has been as consistent as it gets with rock solid efforts in the Turf Triple Crown versus better. She, like Call Of The Wild, is hoping she has what it takes to steal the victory and march into the history books.

The horses are loading in the gate. Call Of The Wild and Daddy's Overdraft load together. In Front was scratched. Anodyne has been moved into gate two. Fly By Darkness, the longest shot on the board, is loaded into the final stall in this four horse field. The crowd holds its collective breath. Again, I can hardly describe the intensity here.

Fly By Darkness rears in the gate, but is quickly settled down by our effective gate crew.

[The bell clangs in the background. The gates pop open and the horses explode from the gate.]

And THEY'RE OFF!

Daddy's Overdraft broke like a shot out of the gate. She has even topped Anodyne who runs up her inside to assume control. Anodyne will attempt to take this group from gate to wire. The Augusto colt takes the lead and settles once Daddy's Overdraft has fallen back to her customary position among the others. Along the rail is Call Of The Wild. He appears to be handling the much drier turf today with aplomb and is well in hand. He has been forced to stay with the midrunners, but luckily the pace isn't the fast. Fly By Darkness is actually last at the moment, tucked in behind Daddy's Overdraft and racing slightly off of Call Of The Wild's hip.

And Anodyne is rolling right along. He has taken them through :24 4/5 first quarter and is under no urging to do it any quicker. The crowd is roaring as Anodyne rolls through the :48 3/5 second quarter, still under no urging and no pressure. Daddy's Overdraft has moved up a little bit, niggled along to keep within distance of Anodyne. Call Of The Wild and Fly By Darkness still linger in the back, clearly hoping that Anodyne cannot handle the twelve furlong march.

Saunders looks very confident aboard the horse as they come through the homestretch for the first time. Anodyne is definitely handling the track today and is still within himself to the delight of the crowd. His lead his four lengths, but Daddy's Overdraft has moved up, taken slightly out of her comfort zone today. She is full of run and closes within two lengths of Anodyne. Call Of The Wild is being ridden patiently on the rail. Krystal Yhate has not moved a single muscle since the break. Fly By Darkness is cruising beside the bay colt, ears bobbing up and down. It appears she is handling the turf better than expected.

Back through the stretch they come and Anodyne now finds himself accompanied by Daddy's Overdraft. The gray filly will not be taken back anymore. It is clear that she is a little unnerved by the crowd and she bolts forward. Her nerves have bounced to Anodyne and the bay colt runs with her despite the pleas of Saunders. The pair have stormed to a six length lead over Call Of The Wild and Fly By Darkness. And now the riders on the latter pair are pushing their horses to get going. The danger is imminent as Anodyne and Daddy's Overdraft soar through the back stretch, nose and nose.

Anodyne cuts the corner in the final turn with Daddy's Overdraft laying all over his shoulder. Saunders has given up fighting and is simply letting the colt cruise. But the filly is QUALITY and she is not LETTING HIM GO! ANODYNE ROARS INTO THE TURN, BUT DADDY'S OVERDRAFT IS KEEPING HIM COMPANY.

AND HERE COMES CALL OF THE WILD. And Fly By Darkness is following him. Their strides are purposeful and mighty while Daddy's Overdraft tires. She is unable to go another furlong at the brutal pace! ANODYNE IS ALL ALONE, BUT NOT FOR LONG!

Call Of The Wild sneaks up the rail and Fly By Darkness roars down the center of the track, leaving Daddy's Overdraft toiling in their wake. Call Of The Wild is faster than Fly By Darkness. ONE HUNDRED YARDS OUT AND ANODYNE HAS THE LEAD! WHERE IS THE WIRE!? ANODYNE IS WEAKENING AS CALL OF THE WILD COMES TO HIM ON THE INSIDE WITH MAGNIFICENT STRIDE. CALL OF THE WILD ASSUMES THE LEAD, BUT ANODYNE IS BATTLING BACK ON THE OUTSIDE! OH WHAT A CHAMPION HE IS AND OH WHAT HEART CALL OF THE WILD HAS! HEAD AND HEAD, NOSE FOR NOSE AS THEY CROSS THE WIRE! I CANNOT TELL WHO WON!

Ladies and gentlemen, if your hearts can take it anymore, we now must wait for the photo for first. Fly By Darkness was back in third by a length and a half. Daddy's Overdraft finished about four lengths behind her in fourth.

Anodyne and Call Of The Wild are brought back before the stands. It is so quiet a church mouse could be heard. Everyone is waiting with bated breath for the announce....








AND ANODYNE WON! HE HAS BECOME THE SECOND CANADIAN TRIPLE CROWN WINNER! MAN OH MAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU HAVE TO TIP YOUR HAT TO HIM! HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE TODAY!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE CONNECTIONS! CONGRATULATIONS TO STRIDE OF PERFECTION STABLES AND GRAYSON MEADOWS AND STAR THOROUGHBREDS FOR PUSHING A CHAMPION TO HIS LIMITS AND FOR REVEALING HIS COURAGE IN THE FACE OF DEFEAT.
