Moira, without hind shoes, made it look easy in taking the 67th running of Budweiser’s $500,000 Woodbine Oaks on July 24th. Trained by Kevin Attard for X-Men Racing, Madaket Stables, and SF Racing, the 3-year-old daughter of Ghostzapper took the lead around the turn for home and glided to a 10 3/4-length score and a possible date against the boys in the Aug. 21 Queen’s Plate.
Donato Lanni, of X-Men Racing, signed the ticket on Adena Springs-bred Moira for $150,000 at the 2020 Keeneland September Sale from the Hidden Brook consignment. Lanni deferred the Queen’s Plate decision to Attard. “It’s going be up to her and Kevin,” Lanni said. “Fillies have won it before, but we’re just so lucky to be here today. So, let’s take one race at a time… and thank you Woodbine.”
