Second horse betting choice C Karma and After the Applause will be trying turf for the first time after running third and second respectively in the Ontario Debutante over the Woodbine Polytrack last August 16. C Karma will be ridden by jockey Jono Jones while After the Applause will have jockey Chantal Sutherland aboard in Sunday’s Natalma Stakes.
Koonunga Hill recently won by nose over Panther Strike in her turf debut, the 7-furlong Ice Water. The Steve Owens-trained bay Koonunga Hill has won 2 of 5 starts and will be ridden by jockey Constant Montpellier in the Natalma.
Panther Strike is still looking for a win and will be under jockey Tyler Pizarro for race horse trainer Daniel Vella and owner Edward Seltzer.
The Natalma Stakes is race 6 of 10 horse races in Woodbine’s September 14 card. Natalma post time is 3:35 pm. Included in its undercard is the $150,000 Swynford Stakes at 7 furlongs for 2-year-olds.
