The road to one Ontario-bred s first win came later rather than sooner, but for the chestnut s connections it made the victory all the more memorable.
For trainer Jamie Attard, watching Red Hierarchy in the seconds before he burst from the starting gate on July 12 at Woodbine Racetrack wasn t an unfamiliar sight.
But this time the scene wasn t just in his imagination.
“In all honesty, he came in with a presence about him when he was a 2-year-old,” recalled Attard. “He was a big, big, handsome colt. I looked at him and everything about him stood out. He just had this really nice look to him. You d take him out to gallop and he was classy from the start – all about business and a beautiful stride to him. You couldn t wait to see him race.”
