Four years removed from a devastating barn fire, the Steacy stable has persevered to reach new heights in 2022. Team Steacy can add to its record bankroll in the 2022 Breeders Crown, sending out a pair of highly-talented fillies this weekend at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
“I was in a bad spot, her speed bailed me out big time,” said a relieved Bob McClure of Warrawee Xenia, who overcame an overland trip with her impressive speed to haul down favourite Adare Castle in the second of two $80,368 Simcoe Stakes divisions for three-year-old trotting fillies, part of the star studded program on Saturday (Sept. 3) at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
Trotters have a reputation of turning hair grey, and Ritson certainly appeared to be that type of trotter after his 0-for-12 starts to the season for trainer Shawn Steacy.
