2015 Kennedy Road Stakes Race Favorites

Calgary Cat 2-1 - last year's outstanding sprinter in Canada and defending champion in this race has been pretty good the last 18 months - eight wins, two seconds and a third place finish in 12 starts. He enters off a bit of a disappointment - a second in the Grade 3 Bold Venture Stakes on this track September 13. That followed two impressive minor stakes scores here - the Ontario Jockey Club Stakes in August and the Achievement Stakes in July. He had a bullet half-mile breeze in :47 flat Nov. 15 over the Woodbine main track and looks ready to go this weekend. Calgary Cat will be after his third graded stakes score on this track and a bounce back from a tough loss last time out from the outside post 12 with Eurico Rosa Da Silva scheduled to ride the morning line favorite.

Stacked Deck 4-1 - Barbara Mishall trained gelding finished sixth in this race last year and enters off a tenth place finish on the biggest stage - the Breeders' Cup Turf which followed a respectable third in the Grade 3 Woodford Stakes at Keeneland October 3 and a good win over Calgary Cat in the Grade 3 Bold Venture Stakes on this track September 13. He has six wins and three third place finishes in 16 career starts and has placed in five of his last seven starts overall and has won four of six career starts on Polytrack. He looks for his second graded stakes win in 10 weeks from post 5 Luis Contreras in the irons as the morning line second choice.

Paso Doble 12-1 - has a whopping 50 career starts for trainer Mark Fournier with 12 wins, 12 seconds and eight third place finishes. He finished seventh in this race in 2010 and was sixth in this race in 2011 and has placed in two of three graded stakes tries since. He enters off a second in an Allowance here October 31, a seventh in the minor Shepperton Stakes here August 3, a fifth in the Karl Boyes Memorial Stakes at Presque Isle Downs in June and a decent win in the minor New Providence Stakes on this track in May. Paso Doble has been just OK lately and will be after his first graded stakes score from gate 2 Sunday with Justin Stein in the saddle.

Passion for Action 15-1 - has three wins, two seconds and as third place finish in nine career starts - the best result being a win in the minor Cup and Saucer Stakes here in October, 2014.

Excaper 20-1 - Ian Black trainee finished second in the 2011 Breeders' Cup Juvenile but has failed to find any sort of traction since. He did win the Grade 2 Connaught Cup here in May, 2014 - the last time he tasted victory. He has placed in just one of his last seven start ahead of this weekend - that being a third in an Allowance Optional Claiming two starts back on this track.

Rexton 20-1 - has five wins, a second and four third place finishes in 24 career starts - not great but he did post a win in his stakes debut two starts back - the minor OLG Kenora Stakes on this track September 4. He followed that with a fourth in an Allowance last time out here October 31. Rexton has placed in just two of six starts this year (both wins) and steps up in company in so-so form. Jermaine Bridgmohan has been tabbed to ride from the rail.

Bear No Joke 20-1 - Reade Baker trained gelding has participated in this race three times - a second in 2012, a win in 2013 and a fourth in 2014. He has just one other stakes win.

Overall he has 29 career starts with six wins, nine seconds and a third place finish but arrives not having won since the 2013 edition of this race.
