Chiefswood Stables

Roscar, under a perfectly timed ride from Justin Stein, led home a one-two-three finish for Chiefswood Stables in the Breeders' Stakes at Woodbine Sunday. Roscar was vying for the lead with favored Hurricane Clair (Silent Name {Jpn}) into the first turn, but settled just off the pace as the Chiefswood trio lined up in behind the leaders as Thor's Cause (Brody's Cause) took the lead up the hill.
