Mighty Heart, Canada’s reigning Horse of the Year, is set to tackle 1 1/16-miles on the Tapeta, in Saturday’s Grade 3 $150,000 Seagram Cup at Woodbine.
Trained by hall of famer Josie Carroll for owner-breeder Larry Cordes, Mighty Heart, a four-year-old son of Dramedy-Emma’s Bullseye, will look to deliver his connections a second graded stakes score after taking the Grade 3 Dominion Day on July 1.
The one-eyed colt, who recorded wins last year in the Queen’s Plate and Prince of Wales Stakes, the first two jewels of the Canadian Triple Crown, is in the midst of another fruitful campaign, having posted wins in the Dominion Day and Blame Stakes, a second in his most recent engagement, the Grade 3 West Virginia Governor’s Stakes on August 7, and a third in his seasonal bow at Keeneland in April.
