Jul 23, 2023 | 3:23 PM

TORONTO — Elysian Field took the lead in deep stretch to capture the $500,000 Woodbine Oaks on a windy Sunday.

Elysian Field, at 5-1 odds with jockey Sahin Civaci aboard, overtook Ticker Tape Home, ridden by Patrick Husbands, for a 2 1/4-length win in the 1 1/8-mile race for three-year-old fillies in 1:36.91 despite running into a stiff breeze.

Wickenheiser, with Kazushi Kimura aboard, was second in the 14-horse field while Fortyfiveseventyt took third.

Earlier, Husbands rode Paramount Prince to a convincing wire-to-wire victory in the $150,000 King’s Plate Trial.

Paramount Prince, an 11-1 pick, registered the five-length win, finishing the 1 1/8-mile race in 1:37.40 despite running into a stiff breeze and in rainy conditions on Woodbine’s Tapeta track.
