Military Time Edges Brachetto to Win Prince of Wales Stakes
Military Time, a Mark Casse trainee, surged late to beat Brachetto and capture the $500,000 race in a close eight-horse finish.
- On Monday, Military Time overtook Brachetto just before the finish to win the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie Racetrack, giving jockey Fraser Aebly his first Canadian classic victory.
- Mark Casse-trained Military Time, co-owned by Gary Barber and Vincent Viola, entered after finishing runner-up in the King's Plate; assistant trainer Kathryn Sullivan credited blinkers for improving his focus.
- During the 1 3/16-mile race, Military Time relaxed in mid-pack before surging to a half-length lead at the eighth pole, holding off Brachetto while Buium finished third in the eight-horse field.
- With King's Plate winner Luster absent, Military Time remains in Canadian Triple Crown contention heading to the Breeders' Stakes on September 27 at Woodbine Racetrack, seeking to match Wando's 2003 achievement.
- Beyond the headline event, jockey Pietro Moran dominated Fort Erie Racetrack's seven added-money races on Monday, capturing stakes victories aboard Regal Affair, My Covenant, and Quiet Intent in the Puss n Boots Cup.
