Treason Looks to Add the Durham Cup to His CV Oct. 7

The LNJ Foxwoods and MSK Racing Ventures-owned Treason  heads into Saturday's 1 1/16-mile Durham Cup (G3) with his eye on adding another graded win to his tally. The 5-year-old son of Constitution  , while lightly raced, has not been off the board this year in stakes company exclusively at Woodbine.

Making his 2023 debut in June, he smashed the Eclipse Stakes (G2) over 1 1/16-mile and came back one month later to run second by one length in the Dominion Day Stakes (G3). In his last start, he ran second by a neck to fellow Durham Cup competitor War Bomber  in the one-mile King Edward Stakes Aug. 19 over the turf course.
