What some of the Oaks connections are saying

July 18, 2024

“She is extremely versatile in her ability to run well on different surfaces and distances. She ran a great one last time out and even though it’s a short time between races, she has given us every indication she can step up once again.” – Trainer Kevin Attard, on Caitlinhergrtness (main picture, Michael Burns photo)

“We were hoping to build off her great rookie season and it hasn’t gone as we anticipated. That said, we did lose some time with her. She has the ability and the skills to come up with a big one on Saturday.” – Trainer Kevin Attard, on Inudation

“I thought her maiden win was very professional. Her latest race was okay, and we think she can definitely improve off that one. There is a lot to like about her and we are expecting a strong showing on Saturday.” Trainer Kevin Attard, on My Girl Della

“She’s a maiden, but her last race – her first 3-year-old start – was encouraging.” – Trainer Kevin Attard, on Vucchella

“We like her a lot. We always have. She has been a bit frustrating, but she had a very nice work with (2022 Woodbine Oaks and King’s Plate winner) Moira, which obviously was extremely encouraging. She definitely has the talent, and the distance is absolutely in her wheelhouse.” – Trainer Kevin Attard, on War Painter

“She is a very nice filly who always tries hard. She is coming into the race in good order.” – Trainer Sid Attard, on Great Kate

“She is a nice, honest, straightforward 3-year-old filly, who is doing everything right. She belongs here.” – Trainer Marty Drexler, on Hurricane Clair

“I’m excited to ride her. Her athletic ability has always shined. I am grateful to the connections for this amazing opportunity. Hopefully, we can work out a trip because the distance shouldn’t be an issue.” – Jockey Sofia Vives, on Kin’s Concerto
