Mother Goose possible for Road to Victory

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Mark Casse had a big weekend at Woodbine, picking up eight wins from the Saturday and Sunday races. Among those were stakes wins on Saturday from Telekinesis in the Plate Trial Stakes and Road to Victory in the Alywow Stakes.

Casse said Road to Victory could run back in the Grade 2, $250,000 Mother Goose Stakes for 3-year-old fillies over 1 1/16 miles on dirt at Belmont Park on June 30.

The Alywow was the first start for Road to Victory since she defeated multiple Grade 1 winner Monomoy Girl in the Grade 2 Golden Rod Stakes at Churchill Downs last November. Road to Victory is now undefeated in three career starts.

Casse said Road to Victory suffered an injury following the Golden Rod and was given time off over the winter.

“I hadn’t really done a whole lot with her coming back and I was a little worried about it,” he said. “I had penciled in the Alywow some time ago.”

◗ Woodbine will hold its Spring Meet Horseplayers Tournament on June 16. Two seats to the NTRA National Horseplayers Championship and a cash prize pool will be up for grabs. The tournament is a live-bankroll tournament featuring win and place bets on Woodbine races. The tournament entry fee is $150. For more information, visit Woodbine.com/Tournaments.
