Royal Charm pulled off a 32-1 upset with her late mile heroics in the $436,000 Elegantimage Stakes for three-year-old fillies.
Three-time Elegantimage Stakes-winning driver Paul MacDonell worked out the trip aboard the Majestic Son-Queen Of Grace filly for trainer Mark Steacy of Lansdowne, Ont.
Dream Child (David Miller) fired out from post nine and crossed to command in the first turn over insider Emoticon Hanover (Sylvain Filion) with Celebrity Eventsy (Jody Jamieson) and Flowers N Songs (Yannick Gingras) left parked out as the other fillies settled in line.
Dream Child carved out fractions of :27, :55.4 and 1:24.4 with Celebrity Eventsy grinding away first over and Flowers N Songs tracking her cover. Meanwhile, down the backstretch, MacDonell had positioned Royal Charm third over. The 1-9 favourite, Caprice Hill, was locked in along the pylons at that point.
As Flowers N Songs rallied off cover in the stretch, Royal Charm was also closing in on the far outside and she went by to score her first Grand Circuit stakes victory in a career-best time of 1:54.4. Dewdle All Day (James MacDonald) closed outside of Royal Charm to finish three-quarters of a length behind in second. Flowers N Songs was third.
"It's a prestigious race and I'm just happy to do it for Mark and his connections; they've been supporting this filly right through," said MacDonell. "She's been coming up to a good race and she did it tonight."
Royal Charm is owned by David McDonald of Cornwall, Ont., Shelly MacMillan of Waterloo, Ont., Hudson Standardbred Stable Inc. of Hudson, Que., and Bridle Path Stables Ltd. of Ossining, New York.
A $77,000 yearling purchase from the Lexington Selected Sale, she made just three starts as a freshman and earned her sixth win from 14 starts this year. Saturday's stakes victory boosted her bankroll over $315,000.
"She doesn't leave very well, it's been her thing all year," noted MacDonell. "She just struggles to get away from the gate. As it turned out tonight, she was within five lengths at the quarter pole so that was good. And then the flow just started to develop on the outside and she got up third over and she always has a good kick coming home."
"She always showed speed, even last year, but she had a breaking problem, maybe immature," explained Steacy, who is already enjoying a fantastic season as the leading trainer in the Ontario Sires Stakes program. "It started out that way this year, but each time she went she got a little better and better, and Paul's done a great job with her and this is where we are."
Royal Charm returned $67.50 a whopping for a $2 Win ticket.
