Riding the River storms to victory in Nijinsky

TORONTO, July 22- Riding the River, under a masterful ride by Todd Kabel, was steered through a traffic jam at the quarter-pole before powering home a neck winner in Sunday's Grade 2 $322,200 Nijinsky Stakes, at Woodbine.

The five-year-old bay gelding, blocked behind the trio of Kara's Orientation, Pender Harbour and Imagining in the stretch run, was neatly nipped to the rail en route to a second graded score on the trot.
