Whitehall’s five-win week vaulted him into what looks like an insurmountable lead in the jockey standings with 49 wins, 14 more than Damario Bynoe (35 wins), followed by Jorge Carreno (29), Chavion Chow (29) and Ronald Ali (24). Two of Whitehall’s three wins also helped trainer Jerry Gourneau score a hat trick on Wednesday.

Gourneau’s lead in the trainer standings also looks insurmountable with only six race days left in the live race meeting. The 61-year-old conditioner from the Turtle Mountain Chippewa Reservation in Belcourt, North Dakota now has 39 wins, 11 more than Wendy Anderson (28), followed by Jared Brown (25), Mike Nault (23) and Devon Gittens (21). The common thread that runs through all three of these winners – Gourneau, Whitehall and Aebly?

They put the work in.

Falcons over Panthers (Sunday noon): Once again, the hype train has taken off when it comes to the Atlanta Falcons. Every year they trick people into believing that they will be a decent team, and every year they always disappoint. Second year QB Desmond Riddler will be the starter headed into week one, and has had some decent weapons to work with in Kyle Pitts, Drake London, and rookie running back Bijan Robinson. This will also be the debut game for first overall pick, Bryce Young, at QB for the Panthers. Based on what I saw during the pre-season, Young will be running for his life quite often behind a very shaky offensive line, and the Panthers might be vying for the first overall pick in 2024 as well.

Packers over Bears (Sunday afternoon): The revamped Chicago Bears will open their season hosting their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers, at Soldier Field. This will be the first time in about 18 years where Aaron Rodgers (who destroyed the Bears every time they played) will not be involved. The awkwardness of not seeing number 12 lined up under centre for Green Bay will probably take some time getting used to, but for the sake of Packer fans, hopefully not too long. New starting quarterback Jordan Love will look to extend the winning streak to nine straight Packers victories over the Bears.

Cowboys over Giants (Sunday night): I really hate saying anything positive about the Dallas Cowboys, but it would be naïve of me to think that they aren’t one of the top contenders in the NFC once again. I’ll even go as far as saying they might make it to the NFC championship game this season, but it’s very hard to trust this team when it comes to the playoffs (especially if they run into the 49ers). They will go on the road in Week One to face a team that they have owned over the past few years, the New York Giants. After handing Daniel Jones a large contract extension in the off-season, the Giants will look to build on the success they had last year. Even those whole division matchups tend to be tougher. I don’t expect any upset here and Dallas should win this one pretty comfortably.

King’s Plate winner Paramount Prince has not scared many away from the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown, as he will meet 11 rivals in the $400,000 Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie, on Tuesday, September 12. It's the biggest field for the Prince of Wales since 2002 when Le Cinquiene Essai defeated 11 horses to claim victory. More from Jennifer Morrison at the Canadian Thoroughbred here.

Patricia's Hope's Nobals, winner of six stakes including the Grade 2 Twin Spires Turf Sprint Stakes at Churchill Downs May 6, leads a field of ​10 horses entered in Saturday's $150,000 Korbel Da Hoss Stakes at Colonial Downs, one of six turf stakes on the New Kent County Virginia Day program. The six stakes races combined feature purse money of $1.3 million. There are 11 races on the Saturday card which starts at 1:30 P.M. More from the Paulick Report here.
