TORONTO — Canadian horse Starship Jubilee captured the Grade 1 $1-million Ricoh Woodbine Mile on Saturday.

The seven-year-old champion mare, Canada’s reigning horse of the year, posted an unofficial time of 1:32.06 on a firm turf before no spectators at Woodbine Racetrack due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Starship Jubilee, at 5-1 odds, secured the length victory for the $600,000 winner’s share.

March to the Arch was second in the eight-horse field ahead of War of Will, the ’19 Preakness winner and 2/1 favourite.

Earlier, Luis Contreras rode 9-1 choice Count Again to victory in the $125,000 Grade 3 Singspiel Stakes, finishing the 1 1/4-mile turf race in 2:00.67.
