Michelle Lovell is presented julep cups from Ashford Stud’s Adrian Wallace after Change of Control won the Giant’s Causeway under Colby Hernandez
Horseshoe Racing’s Change of Control returned to Churchill Downs shortly after her one-length victory over favored Into Mystic in Saturday’s $100,000 Giant’s Causeway at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky.
The victory marked the 500th career triumph for trainer Michelle Lovell.
“Words still can’t describe how proud I am of this horse,” Lovell said of the 5-year-old mare by Fed Biz. “She is just maturing so much and is so classy. She is probably the most classy horse that I’ve ever trained in my career.
“That’s why it was so special to win not only that stakes (her first at Keeneland) but have that be a milestone win.”
Lovell indicated Change of Control could start next in the $150,000 Unbridled Sydney going 5½ furlongs on the grass at Churchill on April 29.
The win was the sixth in 25 career starts for Change of Control, who was bred in Kentucky by John O’ Meara. She was ridden to victory by Colby Hernandez.
