Patrick Husbands earns third Plate title as Paramount Prince takes first jewel of Canadian Triple Crown
So, after guiding Paramount Prince to a convincing five-length, wire-to-wire win in last month’s Plate Trial, the veteran jockey took the horse to the lead from the start of the $1-million King’s Plate on Sunday at Woodbine Racetrack.
“It’s amazing how he does it. He just glides if you watch this horse, you never see his legs on the ground. He’s just a racehorse.” “Patrick told me last time, ‘This horse breaks so sharp that I’m not going to take it away from him,’ ” Casse said. “That’s what happened in the Plate Trial and as much speed as there was today, we talked about it because I thought some horses would go.
“I started to hear screaming behind there, but I didn’t want to squeeze my horse early,” Husbands said. “The more I hear screaming, the better it is for me.The remainder of the field, in order of finish, included: Velocitor; Touch’n Ride; Enjoythesilent; Cool Kiss; Twin City; Philip My Dear; Moon Landing; Wickenheiser; Twowaycrossing; Kalik; Morstachy’s; Kaukokaipuu; Silent Miracle; and Midnight in Malibu.
Paramount Prince paid $18, $9.70 and $5.80, while Elysian Field returned $5.90 and $4.10. Stanley House paid $4.10.“I said, ‘Look, you can retire if that’s what you choose to do, but not this week,’ ” Casse recollected. “I want you to go home, I want you to think about it, spend the winter and decide.
“He calls me Dad and he’s the first guy who calls me every Christmas morning,” Casse said with a chuckle. “The phone rings and I’ll say to my wife, ‘It’s Patrick.’”The second jewel of the OLG Canadian Triple Crown will be the $400,000 Prince of Wales, a 1 3/16-mile dirt race at Fort Erie Racetrack on Sept. 12. Wando, bred and owned by the late Gus Schickedanz, was the last Canadian Triple Crown champion.
