At this point of the season, the connections to the gelding Kawacatoose are feeling quite happy with the results. The horse was bred by Joey Gee Thoroughbreds and sold to Devon Boreland for $2,255 as a yearling back in 2019.
The veterans in the game say it takes time and money to get a good horse going but in this case, it was courage.
Back on November 08, 2020, Kawacatoose ran his first race and was defeated, finishing seventh in the field. He went on to run another three races before breaking his maiden and cashing in and paying w$22.50 p$8.80 s$7.10 on September 5th, 2021. When I last spoke to Robert Boreland who is the owner in partnership with his son Canadian soccer star Cyle Larin, he was all smiling.
The horse has done well he has made papa and son proud and has turned some heads at this level. He is a speedy type who will have to face some very tough ones in this race today under the piloting of veteran jockey Steven Bahen who will be no stranger to this horse and his running style. Kawacatoose is expected to be somewhere close to the lead based on his running performance history and with the latest speed figures he is still as tough as they get amongst his rivals.
He has made $110,315 for the year already winning three out of four starts and is mentioned in the top 5 performers at Woodbine so far for this year. It's an honest horse, he has done well and is looking for more.
Race 7 on today's card goes at 7:52pm at Woodbine racetrack.
