War Front, the flagship sire for Claiborne Farm, and his sons succeeded on several fronts last Saturday.
War Front is the sire of a pair stakes winners this year, including Sumter, who won the Singletary Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita. Off three straight wins, he is likely to head to the Grade 2 American Turf at Churchill Downs on Derby Day.
