Olivia Rose turned in a dazzling performance at Woodbine on Sunday, capturing the $100,000 Ballade Stakes in commanding style. The four-year-old daughter of Silent Name, owned and bred by Gabe Grossberg and trained by Mark Casse, shot to the lead under jockey Rafael Hernandez and never looked back, cruising home by an impressive 7 ½ lengths in 1:09.70 for six furlongs over the Tapeta.

This victory marks Olivia Rose’s fourth career stakes win and further cements her reputation among Ontario-sired stars. Little Teddy finished second, with Talk to Ya Later in third.

The HBPA extends huge congratulations to owner/breeder Gabe Grossberg, trainer Mark Casse, and their team on this outstanding win!
