TORONTO — It's a race Kevin Attard has won twice, but a third victory would be historic.
Caitlinhergrtness, last year’s $1-million King’s Plate champion, will be among seven horses competing in Saturday’s $750,000 Grade 1 E.P. Taylor Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack. A win would make the heralded filly the first to complete the Plate–E.P. Taylor double.
"I don't think that far ahead to be quite honest," said Attard, Canada's top trainer last year. "You focus on getting the horse as prepared as possible, hope for a little racing luck, and know afterwards if she's able to accomplish the feat that it's going to be very meaningful.
"She's a special horse already in my heart, obviously, winning the King's Plate with her. To win the E.P. Taylor would be a feather in the cap, so to speak."
