ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Reigning Canadian Horse of the Year Moira will team up with red-hot leading rider Kazushi Kimura for the first time in Saturday’s Grade 3 Belle Mahone, one of two terrific stakes on the card for fillies and mares, along with the Grade 2 Royal North. Victorious in the 2022 Woodbine Oaks and Queen’s Plate, in which she lowered the 1 1/4-mile synthetic-track record, Moira wintered at Margaux Farm in Kentucky after ending up fifth in the Nov. 5 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Keeneland. She has been working steadily over Woodbine’s Tapeta this spring. “She had a little time off after the Breeders’ Cup,” trainer Kevin Attard said. “She started back training in the new year and has been breezing here. I’m quite pleased with the way she’s been breezing.” Kimura got acquainted with Moira in a five-furlong team drill with Angelou in 1:01 last Saturday, during which she galloped out the three-quarters in 1:13.80. “It was really good,” Kimura said. “She always wants to go fast all the time, and I was trying to take it easy. I think she’s ready for the race. She was very good.” Moira will break from post 1 in the 1 1/16-mile Belle Mahone. :: Take your handicapping to the next level and play with FREE DRF Past Performances - Formulator or Classic.  The $150,000 race lured eight others, including multiple stakes winners Il Malocchio and Sister Seagull, along with shippers Missy Greer and Purrfect. Our Flash Drive will be favored in the $175,000 Royal North at 6 1/2 furlongs, the first turf stakes of the meet. Trainer Mark Casse transformed Our Flash Drive into a top-notch Tapeta sprinter in her last two starts, easy scores in the Grade 2 Bessarabian and Grade 3 Whimsical, races that were separated by a winter layoff. Casse said the Nov. 4 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Santa Anita is the long-term goal for Our Flash Drive and has no qualms with sprinting her on the grass. “I think she will love it,” Casse predicted. Among the others in the 11-horse Royal North lineup are shippers Bay Storm, Adaay In Asia, and Baby No Worries. Bay Storm, based at Keeneland with trainer Jonathan Thomas, made her way through traffic to finish second last time out in the $300,000 Unbridled Sidney Stakes at Churchill Downs. Saratoga-based Adaay In Asia is making her first North American start in her debut for trainer Christophe Clement. Victorious in four consecutive handicaps last summer in England, the 4-year-old is unraced since a seventh-place finish in a Group 3 stakes at Doncaster in September. Baby No Worries is making the three-hour trip across the border from Presque Isle Downs again for trainer Tim Girten, who was pleased with her third-place finish in the Whimsical. :: Get Daily Racing Form Past Performances – the exclusive home of Beyer Speed Figures “She made a good run,” Girten said. “She got pinched at the start, but I don’t think that affected her too much because of her style of coming from off the pace. [Our Flash Drive] is an impressive horse, but we’re going to chase her again.” Baby No Worries wound up 10th the only time she tried the turf early in her career in a one-mile maiden special at Tampa. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
