For the curious few. Mark Casse has one scheduled starter tomorrow June 22.
Facts: Courtesy DRF
Race #4 Woodbine Race Course
$50K MCL Fillies
6F on the [b][color=#009900]Turf[/color][/b]
#9 Tancook m/l 2/1 P. Husbands up
This horse s/b representative of sample category. Yet, there c/b some chinks. the filly is dropping out of a stakes race run at 1 +1/16 on the artificial surface. A race in which she trailed, ran wide and finished strong but too late to be a factor. On 6/14 (a week ago)
Previously in a WO MSW route which probably convinced connections to try the stakes. From the comments
TANCOOK, off slowly and rated at the rear of the pack,
closed five-wide on the far turn then rallied gamely outside. Finishing 2nd beaten a neck.
Prior to that (third race back) she ran a good third on the turf but at mile and 3/16.
In summary sprinting this filly on turf could be a good trainer move or just as likely desperation. Could have some OK TG #'s based on previous wide trips.
Since Mr. Casse has only one horse racing I can't get hurt to bad. Yet I suspect I can count on only one thing ... this filly will be coming home like a runaway freight train and outside!

EDIT
It seems I read the equibase race history wrong. This gal hasn't raced in a year. She has been working regularly. So another question mark. Note Casse has good ROI % route to sprint. OK off layoffs. OK surface changes. But running for a tag today.
