Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) winner and Eclipse Award-winning two-year-old filly of 2022 WONDER WHEEL (Into Mischief – Wonder Gal by Tiz Wonderful) has been at Woodbine since mid-May for owner D J Stable, LLC and trainer Mark Casse and will make her first local start July 1 in the Grade 3 Selene Stakes.
Casse has made the Selene Stakes his personal stakes race, as he trained the last five winners of the race and a record seven overall.
Wonder Wheel has not raced since she was ninth in the prestigious Kentucky Oaks (G1) in which she was hard held, steadied, and checked numerous times to the point she was out of the race. Previously Wonder Wheel began her three-year-old campaign with a second-place finish by a neck in the Suncoast Stakes and a sixth-place finish in the Grade 1 Ashland at Keeneland on April 7.
