I hope Woodmere Stealdeal's
I hope Woodmere Stealdeal's connections don't relocate him to Ontario or to The USA to race when he turns 4 because the purses are higher there. Just look at what happened to Sock It Away in 2019 or to Major Custard this year when their connections made that same, ill-fated decision.
