TORONTO (AP) — Miami Deco, a 60-1 long shot, overtook Stormy Lord on the rail to win the 120th running of the $500,000 Breeders’ Stakes at Woodbine on Sunday.
Miami Deco, ridden by Richard Dos Ramos, was third down the stretch but came on hard on the inside to win the 112-mile race on a turf course downgraded from firm to yielding following an afternoon rain storm.
Miami Deco won in an unofficial time of 2:34.24 to earn $300,000 for owners Jim and Susan Hill.
Stormy Lord was second with Cognashene, the 2-1 favorite, taking third in the 13-horse field.
Neither Queen’s Plate champion Big Red Mike nor Prince of Wales Stakes winner Golden Moka took part in the final jewel of Canadian racing’s Triple Crown.
