Carroll ranks among the sport’s greatest trainers, and hopes to win the $1-million race for the third time

Hall of Fame trainer Josie Carroll and Curlin's Voyage play after morning training, at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto on Sept. 9, 2020.As a young girl, Josie Carroll clipped pictures of race horses out of the newspaper and saved them in a scrapbook.“Of course, at the time I didn’t know anything about it,” she says. “I just went by the horses' names.

“She impressed us from the begimnning,” Carroll says. “Everything we have asked her to do she has done in spades. She is tremendously consistent. Her record speaks for itself.” Carroll’s second entry in the Queen’s Plate, which is scheduled to start at 5:41 p.m. Eastern Time, is Mighty Heart, a 20-to-1 long shot.

There are also two horses named after famous people of sport – the 30-to-1 Belichick, after New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, and Holyfield, after former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield. Holyfield got its name because its mother nipped part of his ear off as a baby, as Mike Tyson did to Evander in 1997 during a championship bout. Holyfield is also listed at 30 to 1.
