TORONTO – No Time and trainer Mark Casse have history on their side Saturday.
No Time is the lone filly in the 13-horse field for the $1-million King’s Plate, which will be run at Woodbine Racetrack. The early 7-2 favourite is looking to become the third filly in four years to claim the first jewel of the OLG Canadian Triple Crown.
Casse is also looking for a fourth Plate title, and third with a filly. The Hall of Fame trainer won in 2014 with Lexie Lou and four years later with Wonder Gadot.
Kevin Attard, Canada’s top trainer last year, has also won the Plate twice with fillies. He earned his first crown with Moira in 2022 before winning last year’s race with Caitlinhergrtness, named after WNBA star Caitlin Clark.
Caitlinhergrtness will also be in action Saturday, running in the $750,000 E.P. Taylor Stakes turf race. A win would be Attard’s third in the event but make the horse the first ever to record the Plate-E. P. Taylor double.
Both Attard and Casse will have multiple horses in the Plate.
Casse will also send Ashley’s Archer (12-1 early pick) postward while Attard will have three race starters _ Dewolf (30-1), Faber (30-1) and Mansetti (10-1).
For the first time in Plate history, a father and son will ride against one another. Pietro Moran, 20, will be aboard Mansetti while his father, David, will be on William T (20-1).
