Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 31 Journalists Posted May 31 Unraced since November, last year's King's Plate winner and Canadian champion 3-year-old filly CAITLINHERGRTNESS (f, 4, Omaha Beach–Belatrix, by Giant's Causeway) returned in great style to Woodbine Saturday, winning the GIII Belle Mahone Stakes to open her 2025 season. Having beaten the boys in the first leg of the Canadian Triple Crown, the filly, named for WNBA player Caitlin Clark, returned to facing her own gender Saturday having been third in the GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes at Keeneland and fourth in the GIII Maple Leaf to finish her 2024 campaign. Smoothly handled off the inside, Caitlinhergrtness settled a cozy third around the clubhouse turn as Dana's Beauty (Not This Time) dueled outside of For Flying (Brz) (Drosselmeyer). Even as the field began to swarm around her past the half-mile pole, the 2-1 race favorite was ready and got cut loose between horses with a quarter-mile left to run. Once in the clear, she ran up the score by as many as she liked over For Flying who lasted in a three-way photo finish for the minor placings. Lifetime Record: 10-4-1-2. O-WinStar Farm LLC; B-Jesse Korona; T-Kevin Attard. Sales History: $65,000 wlg '21 KEENOV; $160,000 ylg '22 KEESEP; $375,000 2yo '23 OBSAPR. She's baaaaack! Not to be outdone by Mystik Dan, #2 CAITLINHERGRTNESS – the 2024 King's Plate winner – made her 2025 debut a winning one in the $150,000 Belle Mahone Stakes (G3). The daughter of @spendthriftfarm Omaha Beach was ridden by Rafael Hernandez for @kevin_attard. pic.twitter.com/411Z5os6yt — FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) May 31, 2025 The post King’s Plate Winner Caitlinhergrtness Returns In Style At Woodbine appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
