2006 Woodbine Mile Day

Winning co-owner Gary Barber said, "I had a great group of friends from Toronto here. It was just the most amazing thing and just thrilling to come down and watch him. He's lived up to expectations in the last three races. Before that, he was a bit of a disappointment." Barber is a co-founder of Spyglass Entertainment, producers of Seabiscuit among their many movies. Barry Irwin, managing partner of co-owner Team Valor said that Becrux would start next in the Shadwell Mile at Keeneland and then return to his Hollywood Park base. He said he would not supplement Becrux to the Breeders' Cup Mile. Becrux is an Italian-bred gelding who is not Cup eligible.
