Robert Masterson's Tepin (Bernstein), champion female turfer of 2015 and a winner of seven straight races, arrived at Woodbine Wednesday evening ahead of her engagement in Saturday's GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile. The dark bay, unraced since capturing the G1 Queen Anne S. at Royal Ascot June 14, had a light morning of training over Woodbine's Tapeta main track Thursday morning.

“She settled in perfect, as expected,” said Norman Casse, assistant to his father Mark Casse. “That's one of the things that makes her so special. She can go and do these things and never miss a beat. She was really happy yesterday and seems really happy this morning. I just wanted her to go out there and warm up a little bit and show a little of that energy she's been showing at Saratoga the past month. She looked really good.”

Casse said that the “Queen of the Turf” is expected to go out for a short gallop Friday morning.
