Overview
- Apprentice jockey Pietro Moran piloted 18-1 outsider Mansetti to a wire-to-wire win in Saturday’s $1 million King’s Plate.
- The victory marked trainer Kevin Attard’s third King’s Plate triumph and pushed Mansetti’s career record to five wins from eight starts with earnings past $855,000.
- Moran’s ride made history as the son competed alongside his father, David Moran, in the King’s Plate for the first time.
- Attard said he may run Mansetti next in the Sept. 9 Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie, keeping alive a potential Canadian Triple Crown bid.
- Earlier on the Woodbine card, She Feels Pretty won the E. P. Taylor Stakes for a Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf berth before the track’s upcoming turf-course upgrades.
