Breeders’ Cup Challenge Results: Rahy’s Attorney Wins Woodbine Mile

Posted on Sunday, September 7th, 2008

SBG Global RacebookOntario-bred Rahy’s Attorney, ridden by jockey Slade Callaghan, scored an upset in the $1 million Woodbine Mile (G1) September 7 at Woodbine.

Trained by Ian Black, Rahy’s Attorney, unbeaten in 3 career starts at one mile on the grass, kept his winning streak intact by taking one of the most prestigious turf races on the continent, a hard-fought, 1 1/4 length win over Ventura, as the two battled from the eighth pole to the wire over a yielding E.P. Taylor Turf Course at Woodbine. Just Rushing wound up third, with Ice Bear fourth, as the mile was reached in 1:36.14.

The Woodbine Mile was one of the 2008 Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge horse races, so Rahy’s Attorney earned a place in the Breeders’ Cup field for the Breeders’ Cup Mile on October 25 at Santa Anita.
