ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Mark Frostad saddled three winners of the Woodbine Oaks during his days with Sam-Son Farm, which began in 1994 and ended this spring.
On Sunday, Frostad will be looking to take down a Woodbine Oaks in his new guise as a public trainer when he sends out Irish Mission for the $500,000, 1 1/8 mile-race for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies.
Irish Mission, owned by Robert S. Evans, was purchased from Sam-Son for $375,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling sale in August of 2010.
