Giant's Causeway Winner Change of Control gives Lovell training Milestone

April 11, 2021

Horseshoe Racing’s Change of Control returned to Churchill Downs shortly after her length victory over favored Into Mystic in Saturday’s $100,000 Giant’s Causeway (L).

The victory marked the 500th career triumph for trainer Michelle Lovell.

“Words still can’t describe how proud I am of this horse,” Lovell said. “She is just maturing so much and is so classy. She is probably the most classy horse that I’ve ever trained in my career.

“That’s why it was so special to win not only that stakes (her first at Keeneland) but have that be a milestone win.”

Lovell indicated Change of Control could start next in the $150,000 Unbridled Sydney going 5½ furlongs on the grass at Churchill on April 29.
