Souper Sensational remains unbeaten with Glorious Song victory

ETOBICOKE, Ontario — The aptly named Souper Sensational gave trainer Mark Casse his ninth win in the $100,000 Glorious Song Stakes for 2-year-old fillies on Saturday at Woodbine.

Souper Sensational ($3.20) remained unbeaten with a four-length score in the seven-furlong event, covering the distance in 1:21.84. She inherited the lead from Heidi after an opening quarter in :22.76, and then got the half-mile split in :45.78 before drawing away in the stretch.

Javanica, based in Chicago with trainer Eoin Harty, rallied inside from seventh for second. She was followed by the Casse-trained maiden Right to Freedom, Charlie’s Penny, Rocket Reload, Reinforced, and Heidi.

Patrick Husbands rode Souper Sensational when she won her Sept. 26 debut going seven furlongs comfortably from a stalking position, and on Saturday.

“She’s on her game right now, and I didn’t want to disappoint her,” Husbands said. “I wanted to ride her like the best horse. If (Reinforced) wanted to go with her, I would have gone with her. She’s so classy. You can do anything with her. She’s just a 3-year-old in a 2-year-old-body.”
