Conquest Strate Up remains unbeaten with La Prevoyante victory

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Conquest Strate Up extended her unbeaten record to three races Saturday at Woodbine with a come-from-behind score under Alan Garcia in the $125,000 La Prevoyante Stakes.
After missing the break, Conquest Strate Up raced at the rear of the field on the backstretch as Hot Cross Buns set moderate fractions in the one-mile turf route. Internal Bourbon made her way to the lead from a stalking position in midstretch while Conquest Strate Up was in the midst of her rally, and the former got up in the final strides to prevail by a head in 1:35.58 over the firm ground.
“She did the same thing the last two races, leaving a bit slow,” said Garcia. “But I was so comfortable being at the back, nice and quiet. I was only waiting for the turn for home to let my filly run.”
Conquest Strate Up ($12.30) earned $75,000 for Conquest Stable and trainer Mark Casse.
Danish Princess finished a close third, and the favored London Tower wound up fourth in the eight-horse field of Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies.
