Check out my Tuesday (9-9-25) Fort Erie Race 8 analysis below.

FE 8 (Molson Cup, F&M, 8.5T) – Post Time  4:56 PM ET
Primary – #6 KID GIZMO, #7 Emerald Lake
Secondary – #5 Turf and Surf

Horse Comments: 

#6 Kid Gizmo (4-1) stalked and scored in back-to-back local allowance races at 7T in July, and she shipped to WO and finished 7th of 8 on Aug. 21. She is 2-for-2 at FE and her tactical speed might give her the edge in this spot.  

#7 Emerald Lake (7-2) landed the place behind Turf and Surf in her last pair. The patient mare is 0-for-5 with three runner-up finishes at FE and she reconnects with her winning rider Leo Salles. 

#5 Turf and Surf (5-2) won her last three local starts at 7T. She was claimed on July 14 and captured her last pair as the favorite. She usually fires at FE (8 3-2-2) and will try to get involved late in a race lacking front end speed.
