ARCADIA, Calif. — He's won the King's Plate, Woodbine Oaks and Prince of Wales Stakes but a Breeders' Cup victory would be a crowning achievement for Canadian trainer Kevin Attard.
Attard will return to the Breeders' Cup with Moira, the filly that won the '22 King's Plate en route to being named Canada's horse of the year. Moira was fifth in last year's Filly & Mare Turf at Keeneland _ rallying from last in the 12-horse field _ and will again run in the US$2-million 1 1/4-mile race Saturday at Santa Anita.
"The team spends a lot of time with these horses and gets to know them really well, and know the ins and out of them. It always helps to have familiar faces." "In her last race back home we had quite a bit of rain," Attard said."The turf had a bit of give, especially this time of year when it cools off and doesn’t dry out as quick.Saturday's field will also feature Fev Rover, an Irish-bred five-year-old trained by Mark Casse, 15 times Canada's top conditioner. Rev Rover has finished in the money 13 times in 19 career starts.
"He shipped very well, he's a bit fresh and is training really well here," Attfield said."He’s pretty level-headed, this horse."
