Despite the 4-5 confidence the public placed on him, The Big Con (GB) (c, 2, Dark Angel {Ire}–Nakuti {Ire}, by Mastercraftsman {Ire}) must have had connections holding their collective breaths a few times during the running of the GIII Grey Stakes for 2-year-olds Sunday at Woodbine. He broke nicely from the one hole, settling midpack, but things got tight for him and he was shuffled back several spots. Unfazed behind fractions of :24.65 and :50.21, the 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' appeared all but beaten before coming on again up the rail in the stretch to win powerfully. He got the 1 1/16 miles on the synthetic in 1:46.57 to remain unbeaten in two lifetime starts.Silent Tactic (Tacitus) and Wembley Avenue (Known Agenda) finished second and third, respectively.O-Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Tony Weintraub & Brandon M Dalinka; B-St Albans Bloodstock LLP (GB); T-Miguel Clement; J-Sahin Civaci.#1 THE BIG CON ($3.60) rallied up the rail to win the $150,000 Grey Stakes (G3) at @WoodbineTB.
