With Manitoba super mare Escape Clause awaiting auction in Kentucky, the new – and some say “even better” – Manitoba-bred female, the unbeaten Hidden Grace is being pointed to possibly two $50,000 stakes at Century Downs near Calgary this month.

Speaking from Century Downs which cancelled its Sunday race card because of heavy snow, Hidden Grace trainer Mike Nault told The Insider that Hidden Grace’s main objective is the $50,000 CTHS Sales Stake Fillies Division on Saturday, Oct. 26, the race that Escape Clause won two years in a row. (It’s a race for 3- and 4-year-old fillies bred in Canada who were run through the CTHS yearling sale in Alberta, Manitoba or B.C.).
