TORONTO, November 10, 2023 – Fashionably Fab, a daughter of Silent Name (JPN), bred in Ontario by Terra Farms Ltd. was sent off as the 9-5 second choice. Fashionably Fab, with Patrick Husbands in the irons, broke sharply and sat second, just to the outside of 33-1 leader Seattle Causeway in the Ashbridges Bay. Seattle Causeway hugged the rail and held a length advantage over Fashionably Fab through a tepid opening quarter in :25.28.

Husbands than gave Fashionably Fab her cue and she responded with an effortless turn of foot to seize control and dashed away from her pursuers with ease in early stretch. On top by two lengths at the stretch call, the dark bay filly poured it on late to win by 6 ½ lengths. Tito’s Calling, the 4-5 choice, was second, followed by Seattle Causeway. Veri Gizmo, Great Kate, and Souper Sinclair completed the order of finish. Silent Sky was scratched.

The final time was 1:44.34.
