Canadian International: Both Michael Kinane and Johnny Murtagh will be in double Grade One action in Toronto tomorrow night where Aidan O'Brien and John Oxx are attempting to repeat past glories at the Woodbine track.
O'Brien's Doncaster St Leger third Honolulu is one of 12 lining up for the $2 million Canadian International for which the German-trained Ouijano is a 3 to 1 morning line favourite.
The Grosser Preis Von Baden winner will also be joined by Murtagh's mount, the South African runner Oracle West, as well as Michael Stoute's Cumberland Lodge Stakes winner Ask who will be Ryan Moore's first mount in Canada.
O'Brien and Kinane landed Canada's richest race in 2002 with Ballingarry but the former champion jockey was out of luck last year when unplaced on Kastoria behind Collier Hill.
Timarida was a winner of the $1 million EP Taylor Stakes for Oxx in 1995 and the Curragh trainer is hoping for a follow up in the mile-and-a-quarter event with his Blandford Stakes winner Four Sins. "She has travelled over well and the ground looks like being good which will suit us as she likes good or faster," Oxx said.
Kinane will again team up with the Irish filly who carries the Aga Khan's colours while Murtagh is reunited with the French runner, Mrs Lindsay, on which he won the Group One Prix Vermeille at Longchamp last month. Both fillies will run without medication in the 10-runner race for which the main local hope is the Woodbine Oaks winner, Sealy Hill.
