The 69th Woodbine Oaks, presented by Stella Artois, was easily the most wide open in recent memory and as the large field of 14 made its way halfway through the race, it was clear that anything could happen.

Through decent reactions of 23.78 and 47.96, set by longshots Lookin to Conquer and Lunch with Bernie, race favourites Caitlinhergrtness and Kin’s Concerto, tracked in third and fourth before Caitlinhergrtness, one of five in the field for trainer Kevin Attard, pounced on the leaders late on the last turn.

The daughter of  Omaha Beach had a short lead into the stretch as A Little Frisky, wide early in the race, came with a bid to the lead while Lunch With Bernie began to tire along the rail.
