The following day, Ontario-bred Weyburn won a seven-furlong test for 2-year-olds at the New York track in his third start. The Pioneerof the Nile colt trained by Jimmy Jerkens raced on the lead for most of the race and won by 1 1/2 lengths under Jose Lezcano in a final time of 1:25.59 on a sloppy sealed track.
A homebred for Chiefswood Stables Limited, Weyburn is out of the unraced A.P. Indy mare Sunday Affair, who also produced grade 3 winner Yorkton .
John Oxley's Palazzi won in his fifth start for trainer Mark Casse, taking a one-mile maiden test on turf. The Pioneerof the Nile colt was bumped at the start and ran second to last in the 14-horse field through the opening quarter. Jockey Shaun Bridgmohan guided Palazzi five wide turning for the stretch and the colt was bumped again but rallied to a one-length win in a final time of 1:37.15 on the firm going.
Bred by HnR Nothhaft Horseracing and Pioneerof the Nile Syndicate, Palazzi is out of the multiple graded-placed Indian Charlie stakes winner Kindle. He was bought by Team Casse for $510,000 at The Saratoga Sale, Fasig-Tipton's select yearling sale in New York.
