Chelsey Stewart, currently Chief Operating Officer of Resolute Racing, will assume the role of CEO from John Stewart effective immediately, the group announced Monday.
In addition to his wife taking over his role, children Andrew and Sarah Stewart will also step into leadership roles alongside Stewart while John's ongoing role will be limited to supporting the senior team with strategic initiatives and direction.
The Stewart family previously announced the acquisition of more than 450 acres with plans underway for an expansion of their Midway farm, which will feature a state-of-the-art French-style turf gallop training center and a dedicated area for retired and rescue horses. The farm expects to begin hiring a team to manage the operations and oversee the construction of these new facilities later this year.
“I am honored to share that Chelsey will be taking over the role of CEO of Resolute Racing,” said John Stewart. “From the outset, she has been deeply involved and instrumental in the success of our operations, originally as Director of Breeding and Bloodstock and more recently as COO. Chelsey is one of the rising stars in the horse racing industry. Chelsey has proven to be both an exceptional horsewoman and a strong organizational leader.”
