Tiz Breathtaking headlines a field of a half-dozen two-year-old Canadian-bred fillies set to face off in the 73rd running of $225,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes on Sunday at Woodbine Racetrack.

Trained by Michael Doyle for William Graham’s Windhaven Farms, Tiz Breathtaking boasts an impressive three-for-four record early in her career with her only defeat a neck loss in the My Dear Stakes this summer. Since then, she has won back-to-back stakes, taking the Shady Well on August 4 and the Grade 3 Mazarine on October 6 while stretching out to the 1-1/16-mile distance she will run again in Sunday’s main track feature. The homebred Tiznow-I’m Breathtaking filly, who is the 3-5 morning line favourite, will look to continue her stakes streak with Eurico Rosa Da Silva.

Jockey Rafael Hernandez, who reined home last year’s winner Clickity Clack, will partner with the other Windhaven Farms homebred in the field, Lady Azalea. The Mineshaft-Henry’s Island filly broke her maiden on August 1 over six furlongs of turf and more recently finished fourth when stretching out in her fifth career start in the Mazarine. Trainer Roger Attfield has won this race a record six times and as recently as 2016 courtesy of Chiefswood Stable’s 19-1 upset winner Ghostly Presence.
