Woodbine
Lexie Lou's plans uncertain
Michael Burns Lexie Lou (black cap) wins the Wonder Where Stakes on Aug. 10 at Woodbine.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Woodbine Oaks and Queen’s Plate winner Lexie Lou came up empty in the stretch of her graded stakes debut in the Grade 2 Canadian Stakes on Sept. 14, but has come out of the race without issue, according to trainer Mark Casse.
“She’s fine,” he said. “We don’t really have a good explanation. I wish she had run better, but she’s fine.”
Casse hasn’t made a decision as to whether Lexie Lou will be given the rest of the year off or continue racing this season.
“I want to see how she trains,” he said. “We’ll see.”
Lexie Lou has raced six times this season, including two races at 1 1/8 miles and two at 1 1/4 miles.
