Original Toronto Star caption: Heading for victory: Playlist; least heralded horse in the favored 3-to-5 Kinghaven Farms triple entry in the Canadian Oaks yesterday; stormed to victory with Rick Dos Ramos aboard and earned the congratulations of Princess Anne. But another top filly; Misty Drone; winner of three of its four previous races and ridden by Sandy Hawley; smashed a knee and had to be destroyed.
