Moira has the reputation of being a high start on race day. She lost two of her shoes after Paddock's misconduct before dominating the Woodbine Oaks at the beginning of this year.
“It was always good in the barn and around the route. I expect this part of it to continue as it usually does for her,” said Attard. “Obviously, on the race day with the crowd nearby, you have to be more busy with her at this time.
“But in the EP Taylor she was best in the paddock that day.
Attard had two starter of the Breeder 'Cup: Calgary Cat which was fourth in the lawn sprint (g1t) 2016 Santa Anita ParkAnd Starship JubileeThe Florent Geroux, which was stumbled and relieved in Keeland at the beginning of the Stutfalen 2020. Neither Geroux nor Starship Jubilee were injured.

“We feel very elated to come back now. We have two chances, two good foals. Hopefully Lady Luck is on our side, I think.”
