Woodbine race results

He had every right to throw in the towel in this troubled unveiling, but El Magnate (c, 3, Into Mischief--Cover Song, by Fastnet Rock {Aus}) wasn't discouraged. He overcame the trouble to finish full of run in a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' performance at Woodbine Sunday. The M Racing Group LLC colorbearer marked the 60th 'Rising Star' for his seven-time leading sire, Into Mischief, who holds court at Spendthrift near Lexington. El Magnate--sent at 8-5--hopped at the start, spotting his rivals several lengths. The big colt took his...

EZ TINA (f, 2, Golden Pal-Risk Model, by Into Mischief), the priciest of dual Breeders' Cup winner Golden Pal (by Uncle Mo)'s first yearlings last year, flaunted her speed on debut Sunday at Woodbine. Favored at 6-5, she went straight to the front out of the gate, set an uncontested first quarter fraction of :23.23, did the same through a :46.22 half as Pietro Moran sat chilly, and hustled home with minimal encouragement over the all-weather surface by 4 3/4 lengths in :58.01 for the five furlongs while never threatened....

In most situations, discussion is always best, but some days you just don't feel like hearing second opinions. Arbiter (Charlatan) didn't let anyone get a word in edge wise, and coasted home to a sublime victory in the Woodstock Stakes at Woodbine. Coming into the race with a maiden score on the turf and a win against optional claimers over the synthetic at Churchill Downs Nov. 30--where he set a new course record--and Turfway Park Dec. 17, respectively, he'd last been seen kicking off his 2026 campaign Mar. 21 in...

3rd-KEE, $120k, Alw, 3yo/up, f, 5 1/2fT, 2:04p.m. ET Last seen a half-length shy of becoming a Grade I winner in just her second start, Hot Mash (Not This Time) will make her return to the races in this Keeneland contest against an experienced field of older fillies. Racing in this turf dash with Lasix for the first time, the daughter of red-hot Not This Time broke her maiden Aug. 11 at Ellis Park by an eye-catching 7 3/4 lengths after stalking the pacesetter through a brisk :20.27 opening quarter....

1st-Woodbine, C$90,133, Msw, 11-15, 2yo, f, 7f (AWT), 1:25.72, ft, 1 1/4 lengths. LIKELY STORY (f, 2, Charlatan--Caren {Horse of the Year, Ch. 3yo Filly & GSW-Can, $821,790}, by Society's Chairman) found some trouble at midstretch of her five-furlong debut over the local turf course Oct. 18, having to alter course and losing her momentum en route to a fifth-place finish. The lesser-preferred of the two entries in the race for her sire (by Speightstown) behind drifting favorite Beautiful Things, the $260,000 KEESEP yearling was content to bide her time...

The Big Con (GB) (c, 2, Dark Angel {Ire}--Nakuti {Ire}, by Mastercraftsman {Ire}), a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' on the merit of his only previous start and 8 1/2-length win at Presque Isle Downs Sept. 17, showed why he earned the moniker with a bang-up victory in Sunday's GIII Grey Stakes for 2-year-olds at Woodbine. Despite the 4-5 confidence the public placed in him, the gray must have had his connections holding their collective breaths more than once during the running. He broke nicely from the one hole...

After watching 'TDN Rising Star' Wild Desert (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) and Dance to the Music (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) defeated as the favorites in the GI Summer Stakes and GI Natalma Stakes earlier on the Turf Champions Day program, respectively, Team Godolphin got a measure of revenge when long odds-on 'TDN Rising Star' Notable Speech (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) came storming down the center of the inner turf course and stamped his authority on Saturday's GI Rogers Woodbine Mile. The victory secures the homebred a berth in the field for...

Already a stakes winner in her fledgling career, Corsia Veloce (Practical Joke) stayed undefeated in three races as she took the GI Natalma Stakes at Woodbine for trainer Josie Carroll. The Ontario-bred filly was on home turf in Canada Saturday, having broken her maiden on the Tapeta July 6 before stealing a win in the Catch A Glimpse Stakes at 11-1 odds in her first try on the grass Aug. 16. Given only 12-1 odds despite having several familiar rivals behind her in that prior win, Corsia Veloce broke well...

In a desperate run to the finish, 6-1 shot Argos (Nyquist) just outlasted a furious late charge from European invader and 'TDN Rising Star' Wild Desert (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) to steal the bet365 Summer Stakes at Woodbine, a Win and You're In race for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar. A debut winner sprinting 5 1/2 furlongs at Ellis Park for trainer Kevin Attard, who earned his first Summer win since he legged up Gary Stevens aboard El Soprano (El Prado {Ire}) in 2001, Argos...

Named a 'TDN Rising Star' when romping to a 12-length maiden victory over the adjacent Tapeta track back on July 13, Gold Square LLC's Two Out Hero (War Front) split horses decisively with push coming to shove in Saturday's Soaring Free Stakes at Woodbine and finished nicely to take his record to two wins from as many tries and cap a wildly successful afternoon from the King's Plate-winning barn of Kevin Attard. Off as the 6-5 chalk, the $240,000 Keeneland September purchase could have flaunted the same sort of speed...

Etobicoke, Ontario--Heart stopping. Those are often the words used to describe the thrill of winning a horse race. After Mansetti (Collected) crossed the finish line first in Saturday' s King's Plate Stakes at Woodbine, Al and Bill Ulwelling and their team erupted into a frenzied celebration as a steady string of well-wishers passed by their box to congratulate the Minnesota-based owners on their first King's Plate win. And then, the unexpected. As the team made their way over to the winner's circle in the Woodbine infield, 72-year-old Bill Ulwelling collapsed...

When Sedburys Ghost (Shaman Ghost) burst from the pack to capture the Plate Trial Stakes at Woodbine a week ago, the gelding gave his owner/breeder Yawen Wu her first stakes victory and has the Canadian engineer dreaming of her first trip to the King's Plate. After finishing fourth in the 1 1/16-mile GIII Marine Stakes in June, Sedburys Ghost was given just a 7-1 chance to win the Plate Trial at an extra half-furlong July 20. Wu admitted she wasn't sure herself how the strapping chestnut would do in the...
