Black Hornet, the longest shot on the board at 16-1, set a lively pace en route to his first added-money score in Saturday’s $150,000 Queenston Stakes, at Woodbine.

It was also a first stakes score for trainer Pat Parente and owner Winview Racing Stable, who entered Black Hornet into the seven furlong ‘Poly’ event off a fifth-place finish in the Woodstock Stakes.

Kitten Candy broke quickly from the gate under Tyler Pizarro, but Justin Stein urged Black Hornet into the lead as the field of six left the chute.
