TORONTO, December 10, 2025 – Hint takes on seven rivals in the $100,000 La Prevoyante Stakes, a 1/16-mile main track test for Ontario-sired fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, Saturday at Woodbine. Trained by Gail Cox for owner and breeder Sangreal Investments, LLC, the 3-year-old filly has hit the podium in all three of her career starts. “She is very nice,” said Cox, a multiple graded stakes winning conditioner. “It was a very long process to get her to the races, but she always had talent. She’s also very easy to deal with. I trained her half-brother Arashi (second in the 2023 Cup & Saucer Stakes), but he was more difficult to get along with.” Hint heads into the La Prevoyante off a second in the Ashbridges Bay Stakes, for Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies, on November 21. The dark bay took the lead and fought gamely to earn the runner-up prize in the 1 1/16-mile main track test. “As we had thought when we looked at the race, there was no speed at all,” noted Cox. “She went extremely slow through the opening fractions on the lead, but I think for an inexperienced horse, it is a hard way to run, to be on the lead the whole way and then be a target for someone. But I was very happy with the race and the ride.” Hint was third in her debut, a six-furlong main track sprint at Woodbine on October 11. “She had worked very well from the gate, very fast,” said Cox. “She was on Ernie Perri’s Clocker Report at Woodbine, so we expected her to show more speed that day. It was a conversative start to the race, where she broke okay, but was a little green, trying to figure things out. She made a run at the end and I thought she would really improve off that race.” One race earlier, on November 1, Hint rallied from sixth early to break her maiden courtesy of a 1 ¼-length score at 6 ½ furlongs on the main track.

I really liked how she did it. She sat off horses and got a ton of experience that day. And she won the right way – you do like to see them come off the pace and make a run.” The daughter of Silent Name (JPN) out of the Guillaume Tell (IRE) mare Don’t Tell Lou breezed four furlongs in :50.00 over the main track on December 6. “She is coming into the race doing very well,” said Cox. “She is fairly easy on herself. In the mornings and on race day, she just has a great mind – she does all the important things well. She is good in the gate, good in the paddock and she’s nice to train.” Shad Belle is the exercise rider and groom. Ashbridges Bay Stakes winner Ella It Is, graded stakes-placed Hurricane Clair, three-time winner Madam Gwen, 2022 Thunder Bay stakes winner My Girl Sky, stakes-placed Secret Load, Algoma Stakes winner Speedy Freeze and multiple stakes winner War Painter round out the field. Bred in Canada by Jean-Louis Levesque, La Prevoyante was a champion in her home country as well as the United States. Undefeated in 12 starts as a juvenile in 1972, La Prevoyante won the Eclipse Award for Champion 2-Year-Old Filly, as well as the corresponding Sovereign Award that year, and was also voted Canadian Horse of the Year. La Prevoyante’s career record of 25-5-3 from 39 starts and earnings of $572,417 led her to be inducted as part of the inaugural Canadian Hall of Fame class in 1976. She was inducted into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 1995. First post for Saturday’s 10-race card is 1:05 p.m. Fans can wager on all the action through HPIbet.com and bet365.
