The 2025 Natalma Stakes (G1) at Woodbine Racetrack on September 13 features a competitive field of ten two-year-old fillies vying for a $500,000 purse and an automatic berth to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Key contenders include local stakes winner Corsia Veloce, British Group 3 winner Dance to the Music, and Chad Brown’s Deep Learning, the only horse proven at two turns. The race, run over one mile on the inner turf course, is part of Woodbine’s Turf Champions Day, which also includes other Breeders’ Cup preps like the Summer Stakes and Woodbine Mile. The field is diverse, with horses coming from maiden wins and stakes races, and the race is considered wide open and bettable due to varying running styles and pedigrees.

Top betting choices highlighted are Dixie Law (20-1), who has strong local connections and a promising pedigree for the distance; Pina Colada (20-1), likely to control the pace and improve in her third start; and Deep Learning (5-2), favored for her two-turn experience and strong debut at Saratoga. Dance to the Music is the morning-line favorite at 2-1, bringing international class from trainer Charlie Appleby. The Natalma Stakes has a rich history of producing top-level turf fillies, with past winners going on to Breeders’ Cup success and major racing honors.
