The Alywow, named in honour of the Kinghaven great, who was named Canada’s Horse of the Year in 1994, kicks off the added-money action in race 3. Six 3-year-old filly hopefuls will line up in the gate for the 6 1/2-furlong trek over the E.P. Taylor Turf Course. Lady War Machine, trained by Canadian Hall of Fame inductee Josie Carroll, heads into the Alywow off a sharp maiden-breaking performance on July 3.

Trained by Michael Trombetta, the daughter of Twirling Candy is owned by Larry Johnson. Multiple stakes-placed Honey Pants, sporting a record of 2-3-0 from 7 starts, looks to deliver her connections, trainer Christophe Clement and owners Jim Bakke and Gerald Isbister, in her first stakes crown. Hard Street, owned by Al & Bill Ulwelling, aims for her second straight win after a maiden-breaking victory on July 8. The daughter of Hard Spun is trained by Kevin Attard and was bred by Tall Oaks Farm.

Bid Once, a daughter of California Chrome, will look to build off a strong maiden-breaking score in her debut on June 19. One race later, eight other first-year rivals square off on the Woodbine main in the 5 1/2-furlong Victoria. Concealed Carry, trained and owned by Barb Minshall, looks to make it 2 consecutive trips to the winner’s circle after taking his debut on June 20.
