Me and My Shadow was full of run turning for home en route to victory in the $250,000 Bison City Stakes, for Canadian-foaled 3-year-old fillies, Aug. 13 at Woodbine.
Seattle Causeway , at 13-1, broke running from the rail in the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Tiara as did Fashionably Fab and Collect Dattt , the trio taking the field of eight (Delphia was scratched at the gate) into the first turn. It was Seattle Causeway who established command and held a 1 1/2-length lead over her closest pursuer through an opening quarter in :24.09, while Emma-Jayne Wilson settled Me and My Shadow into seventh .
After widening her advantage to two lengths through a half in :48.35, Seattle Causeway and jockey Leo Salles started to increase their lead ahead of the turn for home, but Wilson and Me and My Shadow were already rolling on the outside and loomed a major threat.
On top by a half-length at the stretch call, the daughter of Violence –Silhouette dashed away from her pursuers to record an emphatic 3 1/2-length triumph in 1:44.30 for 1 1/16 miles on the Tapeta. Tito’s Calling was a neck in front of Fashionably Fab for second. Seattle Causeway was fourth.
“Her acceleration through the turn was pretty epic,” said Wilson.
Me and My Shadow, now 2-2-1 from eight starts, paid $5.80 for the win. She is trained by Mark Casse and was bred by Hill ‘n’ Dale Equine Holdings and N.E.T.P.
