The Jockey Club of Canada has appointed Frank Romeo as new Chief Steward at its annual General Meeting of the Members held at Woodbine Racetrack on Saturday. He steps into the role for one year following the passing of Doug Anderson.
A son of Dom Romeo, who was recently recognized with the Mint Julep Cup by Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (Ontario Division), Romeo now oversees the family's Terra Racing Stable alongside his brother Mark.
The legendary Roger Attfield, a dual Hall of Famer who recently announced his retirement as a trainer, will join the Board of Stewards for one year.
Also announced during the meeting were new members Bryan and Carol Anderson, Eurico Da Silva, Rita Eskudt, Rachel Halden, Mark Romeo, and Evan Sandhu.
