1991 Prince Of Wales Stakes - Dance Smartly [01:08]
Dance Smartly was destined to become "Royalty in Racing" from the time she was foaled. The bay daughter of Danzig, thus a granddaughter of Northern Dancer, out of champion Classy 'n Smart, was born with a star-like marking on her forehead. When she retired she was the leading money-winning ($3.2 million) filly or mare in the world; the first filly to win Canada's Triple Crown; first Canadian-bred to win a Breeders' Cup race and as a broodmare produced Queen's Plate champions Scatter The Gold and Dancethruthedawn. Dance Smartly's class began to emerge at two when she won three of five races, including the Natalma Stakes, placing second in the Ontario Debutante Stakes and third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Belmont Park. The best was yet to come. In 1991, Dance Smartly's momentum began with victories in the Star Shoot and Selene Stakes. She showed she was Canada's best 3-year-old filly by easily winning the Canadian Oaks. Then she took the measure of the boys, romping to victory in the Queen's Plate at Woodbine and the Prince of Wales at Fort Erie. Then, with a $1 million dollar bonus on the line, Dance Smartly showed her versatility by winning the 1 1/2-mile Breeders' Stakes on the turf. Racing fans still hadn't seen the best from the filly from Ernie Samuel's Sam-Son Farm. After humiliating the "boys" in the Triple Crown series, she took the measure of some of the best colts and geldings in North America in the Molson Export Million. The filly moved with ...

1993 Strub Stakes Grade I [02:52]
Siberian Summer paid $34.40 to win Sunday, accounting for the fourth-biggest payoff in Strub history and the largest since Swing Till Dawn, catching the kind of muddy track that he loved, won the 1983 running and paid $78.80. War Heim holds the record with his $98 payoff in 1971. Bertrando, sent off at 3-10 in betting that included 20455 fans at the track, became one of the biggest disappointments in Strub history, a list that includes Damascus, who was 1-5 while losing by a head to Most Host in 1968. Before Sunday, Siberian Summer was best known for his ability to finish second. His 14-race record going into the Strub consisted of three victories--none in a stake--and seven seconds. Even a switch to grass didn't improve his form against the top competition; he was ninth in last year's Del Mar Derby and eighth in the Hollywood Derby. On Thursday, the day before entries were due for the Strub, mcanally had considered skipping the race. "We almost didn't run," the 60-year-old trainer said, "but then I considered who we had to beat. Bertrando really isn't a mile-and-a-quarter horse. Then there was Star Recruit and Major Impact, but after that, the field wasn't really that tough." So mcanally called Siberian Summer's breeder and owner, Mahmoud Fustok, in Florida and they agreed to run. The decision was worth $275000, more than doubling what the gray Siberian Express-Mia Karina colt had earned. Corey Nakatani rode Siberian Summer for the first time, settling the colt into ...
