1 Odds On Mr Mamba ($740,405 – 1:47.4) J. MacDonald, M. Wrenn Odds On Racing The North America Cup winner rose to the top spot with an elimination win and stays at the top of the heap after taking Canada’s big one. Wrenn: “He shipped into Mohawk like a champion. He ate his food and drank. Shipping can knock horses right off their game. Nearing the wire in the Cup, James said he found another gear. He wants to win. It was a fun weekend. We’ll race in Indiana in sire stakes on the 26th.” Breeding: Odds On Equuleus-Honky Tonk Woman Last Race: 6/13/2026 – Wbsb – North America Cup – 1st (1:48.1)
2 Brandon Blvd ($660,977 – 1:48.1) D. Dunn, A. Harris Punisher 11 Stable LLC Raced giant from post 10, finished second in the Cup. Harris: “I’m thrilled with the horse. He couldn’t have raced any better. That’s the problem with the 10 hole, you can’t make your own luck. He’ll take two weeks off. He just paced three starts in a row in 1:48.1. How much sharper does he have to get?” Breeding: Downbytheseaside-Alexis Faith Last Race: 6/13/2026 – Wbsb – North America Cup – 2nd (1:48.1)
3 Beau Jangles ($1,416,919 – 1:48.3) B. McClure, Dr. I. Moore Graham Grace Stables LLC, Kiwi Stables LLC, Bolton Stables Put in another big try, but finished third for a second straight start, behind this poll’s Top 2 once again. There’s no shame in that. Moore: “I thought he got a great drive. He was in a place to win this time. Brandon Blvd went the best of all three of them. Odds On Mr Mamba had a perfect trip behind him. I checked everything, and my horse, he’s good. His next start will be a week from Saturday in the Ontario Sire Stakes Gold.” Breeding: Cattlewash-Mrs Major Hill Last Race: 6/13/2026 – Wbsb – North America Cup – 3rd (1:48.1)
