Midnight Current won her ninth race over the Canterbury Park turf course on Saturday night when she took down the $75,000 Princess Elaine for the second year in a row during the Minnesota Festival of Champions. She was one of five winners on the card for jockey Harry Hernandez. The Minnesota Festival was comprised of six stakes worth a total of $500,000. All races were restricted to horses bred in Minnesota. Midnight Current ($2.60) was making her 12th start over the Canterbury turf when she stalked the pace, took the lead into the stretch, and went on to a three-length win over stablemate Let’s Skedaddle.

Midnight Current settled off the pace set by Lock It Down, who led through fractions of 22.89 seconds for the opening quarter and 46.30 for the half-mile while under pressure from Thunders Rocknroll. Thunders Rocknroll took the lead through six furlongs in 1:10.16, but Midnight Current was well on the attack and moved to the fore into the stretch. The winner went on to cover 1 1/16 miles for fillies and mares on firm turf in 1:41.72. “She’s so honest,” said Joel Berndt, who trains Midnight Current for her breeder, Lothenbach Stables. “She’s just a model of consistency. She’s been good to us.” Midnight Current is the reigning horse of the meet at Canterbury and has not lost against Minnesota-bred company for more than two years. She is a 5-year-old daughter of Midnight Lute. Berndt said earlier this week that it was 50-50 that Midnight Current could winter at Sam Houston. Midnight Current is now 10 for 18 in her career, with earnings of $330,500. She won the fourth stakes race of her career Saturday. Lothenbach Stables and Berndt had two other stakes winners on the card. Hernandez was aboard their Frosty View, who won his maiden in the $100,000 Northern Lights Futurity.
