Another Cup
My Boy Prince and jockey Sahin Civaci scored in Saturday’s 86th running of the Cup and Saucer Stakes. Trainer Mark Casse has now won the Cup and Saucer Stakes seven times, including four of the last five years.
First Timers
Jockey Ryan Munger secured his first Stakes win at Woodbine in the $125,000 Glorious Song in a last-to-first triumph with A Little Frisky. It was the 2-year-old filly’s first win.
Series Finale
Sunday’s ninth race was the longest race of the year (about 1 3/4 miles on the E.P. Taylor Turf Course) and the final leg of the Turf Endurance Series. Marty Drexler-trained Prideofdistinction upset and paid $47.30 to win.
Apprentice Weekend
After apprentices Cheyenne Kerr and Fraser Aebly got their first Woodbine wins on Thursday and Friday, Pietro Moran scored his first career win with Trizzel Trazzel in Saturday’s 11th race.

Worth repeating
“Got the monkey of my back, it feels great. It all worked out and the plan came together. Josie Carroll gave me a lot of instructions and big thanks to her, she had the filly in spot on condition.”
-Jockey Ryan Munger, after capturing his first Woodbine Stakes with A Little Frisky in the Glorious Song Stakes
Worth knowing
The $150,000 Ontario Derby (G3) headlines Saturday’s card. On Sunday, a pair of Ontario-sired stakes, the $100,000 Eternal Search and $100,000 Overskate share the spotlight.
