Carribean Caper wins the 2021 Dogwood Stakes at Churchill Downs
Columbine Stable's undefeated Carribean Caper headlines a field of five fillies and mares entered for the 12th running of the $160,000 Roxelana Overnight Stakes April 30th going six furlongs on the main track at Churchill Downs.
The Roxelana is the headliner of the "Opening Night: Style Under the Stars" 10-race program that begins at 6 p.m. ET and kicks off the 44-day Spring Meet that will be highlighted by the 148th running of the $3 million Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1) May 7.
The Roxelana will go as the evening's ninth race with a 10:11 p.m. post time.
Carribean Caper, who is trained by Al Stall Jr., also will be making her 2022 debut after closing out last year's five-for-five campaign with a victory in the Dogwood Stakes (G3) in September.
Chief opposition to Carribean Caper figures to come from Belladonna Racing's Bayerness and Michael and Katherine Ball's Club Car .
Trained by Cherie DeVaux, Bayerness will be making her first start since winning the Shine Again Stakes at Saratoga Race Course last August.
Club Car, trained by Ben Colebrook, has compiled a 9-3-2-2 record at Churchill Downs and she finished second to Bell's the One in the Dream Supreme Stakes in her most recent local effort.
Rounding out the field for the Roxelana is the Bernard Flint-trained, Naveed Chowhan-owned Euphoric and Stud Los Leones' Cheetara (CHI), who is trained by Ignacio Correas IV.
