The $175,000 G2 Sky Classic Stakes went down Sunday, August 20 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario. Horses three years old and upward took to Woodbine's turf track and raced 1 3/8 miles. Even-money favorite Can'thelpbelieving did what most expected, he bided his time and eventually took over in the stretch to claim victory by a relatively easy 1 1/4 lengths. 10-1 shot Noble Thought closed well to claim second in the field of six with Pumpkin Rumble getting in for third at 14-1 odds. Dragon Bay was fourth with 5-2 second choice Starship Jubilee and Galileo's Spear completing the order of finish.
