Drawn Impression made her qualifying debut on May 13, and the 2023 O'Brien Award finalist made another appearance during the qualifying session on Friday, May 24 at Woodbine Mohawk Park in preparation for a return to the racing wars.
Driver Louis-Philippe Roy pointed the daughter of Muscle Hill - Emoticon Hanover to the top in her Friday qualifying test, and she made the front with a half minute quarter before slowing the tempo. Nautilus B (Mario Baillargeon) looped to the lead and fronted the field through middle panels of 1:00.2 and 1:30.1, then Roy right-lined Drawn Impression at the head of the lane and asked for some late kick. His filly responded willingly, trotting home in :27.4 for the 1:58.1 decision. Nautilus B was nearly five lengths in arrears.
A homebred owned by Determination, Drawn Impression is trained by Luc Blais and sports a 4-0-0 summary from six starts with a mark of 1:54, taken in the elimination of the 2023 Peaceful Way Stakes. She won the final a week later to provide the bulk of her $308,900 bankroll.
