Redwood Sits Right Trip in Northern Dancer

Juddmonte Farm's Redwood, making his North American debut, exploited an open rail to sweep past pacesetter Fifty Proof and win the Northern Dancer Turf Stakes (Can-IT) on the Woodbine turf course Sept. 19.

Jockey Michael Hills guided the 4-year-old homebred son of High Chaparral to victory as the 9-5 favorite for trainer Barry Hills in 2:28.97 for 12 furlongs on a course upgraded to firm before the race.

A group III winner in Great Britian, Redwood was coming off a runner-up finish in the Grand Prix de Deauville (Fr-II) Aug. 29.
