It’s amazing how many terrific things happen in horse racing in a week. How about 8 $225,000 OSS Super Finals at Mohawk? You have to hear Ken Middleton’s call of the 2 Year-Old Colts and Geldings Pace. We have the E.P.Taylor and Nearctic Stakes from Woodbine. Is Ironstone the best two year old thoroughbred in Canada? Will he give his trainer, Willie Armata his first Queen’s Plate contender and will Brazilian jockey Ademar Santos get a shot at Canada’s biggest race?

It’s déjà vu times two for Hall of Fame driver, Paul MacDonell who is winning repeatedly with both a son and a grandson of Somebeachsomewhere.

Imagine a night at the track when the same number keeps coming in race after race.

Bill Megens turns 88 in a few weeks and he’s still winning harness races. Carly Furlonger is about 6 decades younger than that, but she had her greatest day of riding last Wednesday at Ajax Downs. And how about a race from Gulfstream with a horse with no vowels in his name.
