Dive into the restricted Algoma Stakes at Woodbine, where seven Canadian-foaled fillies will battle over seven furlongs on the all-weather track for a $100,000 purse. Expect speed duels, stalking tactics, and one or two closers finding room in the stretch.
Race Details
This year’s Algoma Stakes is set for Sunday, August 24, 2025, at approximately 3:14 PM ET at Woodbine. The seven-furlong test on the Tapeta all-weather surface is restricted to three- and four-year-old fillies foaled in Canada, with $63,000 going to the winner out of the $100,000 purse.
Pace & Run-Style Breakdown
Front-runners: Speedy Freeze and Souper Supreme will push the pace; Spirit Bear can break alertly and vie for position.
Stalkers: Little Teddy, Hoodless, and Just Magnificent should settle just off the leaders, saving ground through the turns.
Closers: Regal Moment boasts a late kick but needs solid fractions up front to unleash.
A swift opening quarter in the low :23s could set up a prime stalking trip, whereas a more leisurely pace might favor one-paced types staying in range.

Leading Contenders
5 – Little Teddy (Austin Adams – Santino C. DiPaola)
Little Teddy holds the top official rating at 99 and has hit the board in each of her last five starts, including a runner-up effort when beaten 7 ½ lengths in a six-furlong stakes July 2025. Her closing rally on dirt shows versatility, and her Frac Daddy cross with Silent Name (JPN) should handle the Tapeta surface.
1 – Speedy Freeze (Ryan Munger – Ronald H. Sadler)
A model of consistency, Speedy Freeze exits a neck second versus allowance rivals at one mile in August. Her Souper Speedy pedigree is tailor-made for sprint distances, and Munger-Sadler click at 22% with all-weather routes at Woodbine this meet.
6 – Hoodless (Pietro Moran – Kevin Attard)
Fresh off a 1 ¾-length allowance victory at six furlongs in July, Hoodless ripped a final quarter in :23.1. The Frac Daddy–Giant Gizmo cross delivers a powerful closing kick, and Attard’s 18% win rate with Canadian-foaled three-year-olds this season can’t be ignored.
4 – Souper Supreme (Patrick Husbands – Mark E. Casse)
Although she disappointed when last of six in a stakes at seven furlongs last October, Souper Supreme captured her first two starts in early spring by a combined five lengths. Her breeding (Souper Speedy–Eddington) and Husbands–Casse partnership (24% wins) suggest she can rebound with a clean trip.
Dark Horses & Value Plays
3 – Just Magnificent (David Moran/Evette Chartrand-Hoek): Late energy over turf translates to deeper stretch run on Tapeta; worth a small each-way bet.
2 – Regal Moment (Fraser Aebly/Stuart C. Simon): Blinkers off for the first time; sky-conqueror pedigree hints at late improvement at decent odds.
7 – Spirit Bear (Keveh Nicholls/Philip Hall): Quick from the gate but needs a hot pace to exploit a three-wide rally into the stretch.
Trainer & Jockey Highlights
Leading rider Patrick Husbands has five wins over the last 20 all-weather stakes at Woodbine (25% strike rate).
Kevin Attard sports a 30% win rate with Frac Daddy progeny in stakes company this season.
Ronald Sadler and Ryan Munger team up at 22% with similar restricted stakes in 2025.
