Clickity Clack
Clickity Clack (foaled March 25, 2015, in Ontario, Canada[1]) is a Stakes Race winning Canadian Thoroughbred racehorse.[2][3] Clickity Clack was sired by Silent Name (JPN),[4] and is best known for her tactical closing speed, often spotting other horses large leads before overtaking them down the final stretch. Clickity Clack was bred by Michelle Love and Robert Love, and is currently owned by Tony Gattellaro, Paul Statchuk, John Gallagher, Andrew Carlson, Dave Carlson & Tamara Baker. Clickity Clack is trained by Tony Gattellaro and TMG Racing Stables.

Clickity Clack finished 2nd in her first career start, losing by a head in a photo finish.[2] Clickity Clack earned her Maiden win on October 7, 2017, at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. On October 29, 2017, Clickity Clack won the 72nd running of the $225,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes, going off at 10-1 odds.[6] The Princess Elizabeth Stakes is the richest race of the year for Canadian-foaled two-year-old fillies. Prior to winning her first stakes race, many experts thought very highly of Clickity Clack and what she might accomplish in her career.[7]
