Wonder Gadot, Telekinesis look to punch their tickets to the Queen’s Plate
TORONTO — Mark Casse will look to triple his Queen’s Plate pleasure Saturday.
Casse will send two solid entries postward at Woodbine Racetrack. Filly Wonder Gadot headlines the five-horse field in the $500,000 Woodbine Oaks while Telekinesis makes his Toronto oval debut in the $125,000 Plate Trial Stakes.
Both aim to punch their tickets to the $1-million Queen’s Plate, the opening jewel of Canada’s Triple Crown on June 30 at Woodbine. They’ll look to join Flameaway, another Casse-trained horse that ran in the 2018 Kentucky Derby.
Telekinesis, Flameaway and Wonder Gadot held the top three spots in the Winterbook, a hypothetical listing that offered early odds on the 109 three-year-olds — 95 colts and geldings, 14 fillies — nominated to the ’18 Canadian Triple Crown.
