Tu Endie Wei won her career debut going just 5fs in the 155K My Dear stakes at Woodbine Saturday. Her margin of victory was 4.75 lengths - it's not easy for a first-time-starter to win a debut by 5 in a 14-horse field on synthetic, against stakes company, going just 5fs.

She did it from plenty off the pace. Again, by a BC Turf winner out of a dam that dropped Biofuel. And she was BET!

Make no mistake - she has a real future.

Samsal - a Consolidator filly who had the outright fastest unblinkered 1/4 at OBS March - was 3rd at 38/1 odds.

I didn't think much of Johar's chances at stud, however, I thought he had the potential to maybe at least get 1-2 really good runners with most of the rest being poor.

The mating of an IC mare to Johar is pure genius!

Tough to decipher the dynamics of the race unless you were watching it from a velodrome.

Thoughts on her win yesterday in the Debutante?

It was a nice performance for a good 2yo filly -- but nothing special. Second place ran very well again. The rest couldn't compete.

I've been blown away by the high percentage of top rated horses from my 2-year-old sales list who have went to Woodbine - of all places.

The 2-year-old racing at Woodbine is WAY tougher than people think. Tougher than it has ever been imo.

Maybe the value of the Canadian dollar is helping it? The Canadian dollar is worth more than the American dollar right now -- and Woodbine has those slot fueled purses.

Those 2yo MSW races with a purse of $64,000 at Woodbine -- I suppose -- look even better when it translates into more than 64K American money.

I've had more of my top 100 2yo sales aces debut at Woodbine than Saratoga or Del Mar or anyother track to this point - so far.
