Clicquot

Clicquot won her maiden race in her second lifetime outing as a 3-year-old with a six-length victory in a seven-furlong race at Keeneland on April 17, 2025. She then stretched out and won again in her third start, this time prevailing a 1 1/16-mile allowance optional claiming race at Churchill Downs on May 31 by a 1 3/4-length winning margin.

Clicquot tried stakes company for the first time and was successful right off the bat with a victory in the $200,000 Grade 3 Daily Racing Form Indiana Oaks going 1 1/16 miles at Horseshoe Indianapolis on July 5. Sent off as the 1.10-1 favorite atop a six-horse field of 3-year-old fillies in the Indiana Oaks, Clicquot stalked the pace and took decisive command in the stretch and drew off to a four-length win under jockey Edgar Morales.

Clicquot waited until Sept. 20 for her next start and chose the challenging Grade 1 $1 million Cotillion Stakes at Parx against the likes of multiple Grade 1 winners Scottish Lassie, Good Cheer, and Good Cheer. In the end, however, it was Clicquot who was popping the champagne in the Cotillion after she scored a game rallying neck win atop the seven-horse field going 1 1/16 miles on the main track.

Clicquot is trained by Brendan Walsh. She was bred in Kentucky by the sire Quality Road out of the mare Royal Obsession by Tapit.
