Champion Tepin went out for light training over Woodbine's newly installed Tapeta main track at 6 a.m. EDT Sept. 15 under exercise rider Jason Hoyte, after arriving from New York a little after 5 p.m. one day prior.

The oustanding turf female of 2015, known as the "Queen of the Turf," brings a seven-race win streak into the Sept. 17 Ricoh Woodbine Mile (Can-IT). She will make her Canadian debut in the one-turn turf mile, seeking her sixth grade I score for owner Robert Masterson and trainer Mark Casse.
 
"She settled in perfect, as expected," said assistant trainer Norm Casse. "That's one of the things that makes her so special. She can go and do these things and never miss a beat. She was really happy yesterday and seems really happy this morning.

"I just wanted her to go out there and warm up a little bit and show a little of that energy she's been showing at Saratoga the past month. She looked really good."
 
Hoyte was pleased to be reunited with Tepin, who will go out for light training Sept. 16 as well.
 
"It was so nice to get on her. I haven't been on her since she was a 2-year-old," he said. "I can feel it in her that she has matured a lot. It's nice to get back on her. She was nice and relaxed."
