Inudation best in Princess Elizabeth

TORONTO, November 25, 2023— Inudation broke her maiden in the $250,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes, a Tapeta race for Canadian-foaled 2-year-old fillies, and a key event on the path to the 69th running of the Woodbine Oaks, the first jewel of the Canadian Triple Tiara series.
It was an early throwdown between Sounds Practical and 4-5 choice Olivia Rose, who matched strides in the run into the first turn, with the former emerging on top and then clicking off an opening split in 24:37. Inudation, with Leo Salles aboard, sat eighth of nine through the first quarter.
Sounds Practical and Olivia Rose continued their spirited upfront battle through a half in :48.10, while Inudation started to make headway, moving into sixth spot.
As the field navigated the turn for home, the pacesetters were soon pressured by a host of foes, including a hard-charging War Painter, who brushed to the front in early stretch and looked to be well on her way to victory.
Inudation, however, was full of run along the rail and began to noticeably cut into the advantage of her stablemate, gaining with every stride before powering by with less than 100 yards to go. War Painter dug down deep and fought back gamely but was a head back at the wire. More Money Hunny, who got off to a sluggish start, rallied to finish third. Bravo Kate was elevated to fourth after Hurricane Clair was disqualified and placed seventh.
The final time for the 77th running of the Princess Elizabeth was 1:45.33.
“I’m lucky, everything worked out good,” said Salles. “The first turn, I had a good trip. I could save a lot of ground and gain positions. In the turn, everyone was making moves I think a little early and I just started taking gaps and gaps. Last time I finished second with her, I really liked this filly, and she had the best preparation. I came in very confident to this race.”
Trainer Kevin Attard, who finished one-two, was impressed with how his young pupil rose to the occasion in her first stakes engagement.
“She was obviously a maiden coming in here today, but she’s a filly that has shown talent from the get-go,” said Attard. “We were always high on her and gradually stretched her out. I thought her two-turn race last time was impressive enough to warrant a chance here today. Eighth of a mile to go, I thought War Painter was free, but this filly just dug in and she was flying up the inside.”
Owned by Al and Bill Ulwelling, and bred by Anderson Farms Ont. Inc., Inudation, now 1-2-0 from four starts, was a $67,000 (U.S.) purchase at the 2022 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearling Sale.

How it Works
- Create an account
- ·Register to bid
- Review horses up for auction, choose the horse you would like to bid on and simply bid by clicking the BID button. (We recommend setting your maximum bid and allow the auction to automatically bid for you. More details below.)
- If you are the successful bidder, the CTHS will contact you directly to arrange payment and provide contact details for the seller.
- If you get out bid, you do nothing more.
1. CREATE AN ACCOUNT
- Go to the auction site: www.auction.cthsont.com
- Click LOGIN
- Click CREATE ACCOUNT. Enter your name, email, create a password, tick the “I have read …” box and click CREATE ACCOUNT button. Please keep your username and password in a safe place. You are financially responsible for all bids placed by a user that is logged in with this username and password.
2. REGISTER TO BID
- Click LOGIN. Enter your username and password.
- Click REGISTER TO BID
- Verify your contact information is accurate. The CTHS will need to contact you if you are the successful bidder!
- Fill in credit card information. WE WILL NOT CHARGE YOUR CARD FOR ANY SUCCESSFUL BIDS. This process is used to verify our bidders identity only.
- Click the box next to “Agree to Terms & Conditions of Sale” and “I am 18 years of age or older”
- Click REGISTER.
Now you are ready to bid!
3. HOW TO BID
Always review your bid before hitting the BID button.
- Once bidding opens, click the BID button on the desired horse’s profile.
- “Next Bid” indicates what the next bid needs to be in order to be the next highest bidder. Bidding is set in increment amounts.
$1,000 - $3,000 = $250.00
$3,000 and up = $500.00
- If two bidders bid at the same time, the first bid that reaches the auction computer will be given the amount – the second bidder will be asked to bid the next available amount.
- Please review your bid BEFORE you click the BID button. CLICK ONCE to place a bid. Your bid will be visible the next time your page refreshes.
MAXIMUM BID OR AUTOMATIC BIDDING (Recommended)
- With automatic bidding you can enter your maximum bid, then sit back and watch. When you set your Maximum Bid, the auction automatically bids on your behalf up to your maximum bid, only if another bidder is bidding against you. Your maximum bid is kept confidential from other bidders.
- The system only bids on your behalf as necessary to keep you as the high bidder. If there are no opposing bidders, your bid will not advance.
- If another bidder has a higher maximum, you will be outbid.
- If the Lot closes for less than your maximum, that’s all you’ll have to pay.
- Placing a maximum bid keeps you from having to come back to re-bid every time another bid is placed.
- Using the single BID button will not be as quick as using the Automatic Bid.
- Due to slow internet connections, we cannot guarantee last second bids will get through every time. We strongly suggest utilizing the max/automatic bidding to ensure your bids are not delayed.
EXTENDED BIDDING
The auction will have a staggered close. If a bid is placed on a lot during the last minute on the time clock, the auction will go into extended bidding for that lot and another minute will be added to the clock to allow the under-bidder to respond. Bidding for that lot will not close until a minute passes without a bid being placed.
If no bid is placed on a lot during the last minute of the auction, that lot will close.
BUYER PAYMENT
After the auction has ended, you will be contacted by the CTHS to determine your method of payment:
- Cash
- Cheque payable to CTHS Ontario
- Credit Card (2.4% fee applies)
- Wire transfer (contact CTHS for details)
- Etransfer to [email protected]
