#HORSERACING: MANSETTI DELIVERS IN THE 166TH RUNNING OF THE KING’S PLATE
It was a smashing day of racing at Woodbine Racetrack this past Saturday as North America’s most historic race, the 166th running of the King’s Plate took place, drawing a full house that witnessed MANSETTI upset the $1 million race in thrilling near wire-to-wire fashion.
What makes it even more impressive is that 20-year-old apprentice jockey Pietro Moran guided the victory for son and father duo Al & Bill Ulwelling, and Team Kevin Attard, who also won last year’s edition with filly CAITLINHERGRTNESS. Attard achieved a rare three-peat, winning three stakes on the card. It is reported that the senior Ulwelling had suffered a mild heart attack watching the race, but is now reported to be doing well. Moran, also was competing in the race with his father David, who rode eighth-place finisher WILLIAM T. It is said that this is historic first for a father and son both to be riding in the race.
Named after a Minnesota pizza shop, MANSETTI delivered for his backers with $38.70 on a $2 wager, keeping a fast-closing TOM’S MAGIC in second, with post-time favourite NOTORIOUS GANGSTER racing third. The score boosts the winner’s lifetime earnings to $689,872 in eight starts. The first runner-up is being pointed to the final jewel in the Canadian Triple Crown, the Breeders’ Stakes on September 28, 2025 at Woodbine.
$17,004,451 was bet on the card, an impressive number for the extended 13-race card which featured a whopping six stake races.
Other highlights include:
SHE FEELS PRETTY winning one of the meet’s marquee races, the Grade I E.P. Taylor, making her a perfect two-for-two at Woodbine, taking the Grade I Natalma here as a two-year-old for Lael Stables and top trainer Cherie DeVaux. John Velazquez re-teamed with her for the win, which earns her a spot in this Fall’s Breeders’ Cup. The remarkable Karakontie filly now has banked over $2.2 million.
GAS ME UP was full of fuel in the Grade II King Edward for Team Kevin Attard driving up to win under Flavien Prat for owners Ex-line Border Racing, Jawl, Kennedy & Ziesler. The five-year-old son of Hard Spun is proof of iconic Sam-Son Farm‘s lasting quality in breeding.
SIMCOE dominated the Grade III Bold Venture, one of two stakes scores that day for Rafael Hernandez, riding for Chiefswood Stable and Team Katerina Vassilieva. This marks the Uncle Mo gelding’s first stakes win.
TWO OUT HERO confirms the promise showed in his impressive debut, taking the Soaring Free for Gold Square LLC and Team Kevin Attard with Hernandez up. This was his groom Elaine’s first stakes winner ever. The War Front colt is being pointed to the Grade I Summer Stakes next month, a Breeders’ Cup Win-and-You’re-In race.
CORSIA VELOCE is a perfect two-for-two, like Two Out Hero after a win in the Catch a Glimpse Stakes for
Glenn Sikura (Hill ‘n’ Dale Farm) and Mario Serrani. Fraser Aebly was aboard the filly for the win, and she is conditioned by Team Josie Carroll. The promising Practical Joke filly looks Natalma Stakes-bound next month.

There were so many amazing activations on the day, including an installation by Coolab at the Hats & Horseshoes Party for DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRANDE FINALE, in theatres September 12, 2025 via Focus Features and Universal Pictures Canada! Invited guests enjoyed a lavender-licious Downton Martini inside the Paddock Party!
… and for everyone asking, beanie and I both were styled by SHEIN. Was stopped several times throughout the day about this!

A clip of highlights from the arrivals:
Was amazing seeing these brilliant athletes interact with their fans, showing so much gratitude. Summer McIntosh who dominated in Swimming too time to sign autographs for her younger fans, before heading off with her parents. Rowers Cailegh Filmer and Jessica Sevick were even letting fans pose for pictures with their silver medal! Medal-winning Swimmers Josh Liendo and Kylie Masse also were generous with their time, walking over to ramp upon arrival, interacting with fans.
We cannot wait till the 2028 games already!

#SPOTTED: SUMMER MCINTOSH RETURNING TO TORONTO FROM 2024 SUMMER OLYMPICS
Three-time gold medal-winning Olympian SUMMER MCINTOSH gets a hero’s welcome home in Toronto! The 17-year-old Swimming star is fresh off three historic victories at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris including:
200-metre butterfly
400-metre medley
200-metre individual medley
She also earned a silver in the 400-metre freestyle!
McIntosh was spotted with her parents Greg McIntosh and former Canadian Olympic team Swimmer Jill Horstead, returning home from Paris as their daughter was greeted by fans, friends and Media at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The family is said to be heading to their Muskoka cottage for some relaxation.
After fielding some questions from Media and posing for some photos, McIntosh was ushered-off quickly with her handlers advising that she is tired and unable to sign autographs and take pictures with fans.
