Artie Hot wins Seagram Cup Stakes!
Artie Hot captured the Grade 3, $151,200 Seagram Cup Stakes on Sunday (27 July 2008) at Woodbine race track. Artie Hot completed the assignment in 1:43.30.
The four-year-old Artie Hot finished ½ length in front of True Metropolitan to give trainer Nick Gonzalez his sixth stakes victory of the season at Woodbine race track. Palladio finished third.
True Metropolitan and Jiggs Coz Artie Hot set the pace in the early stages of the Seagram Cup with somewhat lackadaisical times of :24.62 and :48.51 as Artie Hot settled not far behind.
At the midpoint of the second turn, jockey Emma-Jayne Wilson positioned Artie Hot inside a fading Jiggs Coz and maintained this spot on the rail when continuing to advance into the stretch.
At the last furlong point, Artie Hot evened out with True Metropolitan. Artie Hot stuck his nose out in front and emerged in first place.
Jockey Emma-Jayne Wilson said winding up in a stretch tussle to the inside of 18-time winner True Metropolitan wasn't her first choice of trips.

Artie Hot's connections were of the opinion that the Polytrack surface coupled with the excellent shape the horse is in proved to be the key in winning the Seagram Cup.
Artie Hot paid $23.20, $7.40 and $5.10 while True Metropolitan returned $2.60 and $2.30. Palladio paid $6.50 to show.
His Sunday victory at Woodbine race track increased Artie Hot's earnings to about $340,000. |
