Emma Baker On Indian Rolls

UPI Thoroughbred Racing Roundup

Inglorious, a well-bred filly, beat the boys rather handily in Sunday's $1 million Queen's Plate at Woodbine, near Toronto -- the 152nd running of the Classic.

With Luis Contreras up, Inglorious got started well back in the field of 17 Ontario-bred 3-year-olds, closed the gap four-wide as the field turned into the stretch and quickly challenged front-running longshot Hippolytus. With a final kick, Inglorious sprinted clear to win by 2 1/2 lengths. Pender Harbour was third, 2 lengths farther back, and the favorite, Check Your Soul, faded in the lane and got home seventh.

Inglorious, a Hennessy filly out of the Smart Strike mare Noble Strike, finished 1 1/4 miles on the all-weather track in 2:02.63.

The only filly in Sunday's race, Inglorious became just the fifth filly to win both the Woodbine Oaks and the Plate.

"I wasn't in a hurry off the start," Contreras said. "I was watching the film before the race. I followed the favorite [Check Your Soul] and it worked out. She gave me everything. That's the main thing about her. She likes to win."

The Queen's Plate is the first leg in the Canadian Triple Crown. The second leg is the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes, at 1 3/16 miles on July 17 at Fort Erie. The series returns to Woodbine on Aug. 7 for the $500,000 Breeders' Stakes at 1 1/2 miles on the grass.

Other weekend racing with potential implications for this fall's Breeders' Cup World Championships at Churchill Downs:

Classic

Headache proved just that to favorite Awesome Gem in Saturday's $300,000, Grade III Prairie Meadows Cornhusker Stakes, surging clear in the late going to win by 2 1/2 lengths. Awesome Gem was second, a neck better then Victory Pete. Headache, a 5-year-old, Kentucky-bred Tapit gelding, ran the 9 furlongs on a fast track in 1:47.83 with Miguel Mena up for trainer Michael Maker.

In the companion $250,000, Grade III Iowa Derby, Prayer for Relief posted a minor upset, first pressing the pace, then driving clear in the lane to win by 2 lengths over Sheriff Cogburn. Dreaminofthewin is still dreamin' but finished third, 5 1/2 lengths farther back. The odds-on favorite, Astrology, struggled home sixth, never a factor. Caleb's Posse finished fourth. Prayer for Relief, a Kentucky-bred Jump Start colt, ran the 1 1/16 miles on a fast track in 1:41.73 with Rafael Bejarano handling the reins. Bob Baffert trains the colt for Zayat Stables.
