A Canadian star at age 3, Paramount Prince successfully made his 4-year-old debut during a $91,000 allowance optional claiming race at Gulfstream Park March 10.

The ‘Prince’ became a king over the synthetic at Woodbine Aug. 20 with a dominant gate-to-wire victory in the King’s Plate Stakes, the first jewel in the Canadian Triple Crown. He is one of two 2023 Canadian Classic winners by the Shannondoe Farm stallion Society’s Chairman, also the sire of Tito´s Calling heroine of the Wonder Where Stakes that caps off the Canadian Triple Tiara.

Returning from his five-month layoff and back on a synthetic surface for the first time since the King’s Plate, Paramount Prince shot to the front from his rail post and cruised. Through fractions of :24.09, 47.48, and 1:11.53, Paramount Prince never looked to expend much effort.

Under mild urging from jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., Paramount Prince handled business in the stretch on his way to a two-length victory in 1:48.55 for the 1 1/8-mile distance.

Owned by Michael Langlois and Gary Barber, Paramount Prince improved his record to 4-2-2 from nine starts with earnings of $653,905.
