Ok folks, I am at it again. Another episode in my unending quest to turn the entire horse world into “Standardbred World” and prove my point “If it isn’t a Standardbred – it isn’t a horse”. I invite you to watch another just released video. Sit down, take off your shoes, grab a drink and enjoy an hours’ worth of living the Standardbred racing life.
This movie is the story of the “Gold Cup and Saucer” one of the most prestigious Standardbred races in North America. Raced in Charlottetown, PEI the race is the culmination of an annual 10-day long festival. The presentation is the story of the 2011 race, the people, horses and the importance of this piece of history to both PEI and the people who live Standardbred racing on the far east end of Canada.
Filled with breathtaking images of horses and drivers careening around the track at breakneck speeds this movie truly represents what is good in the racing industry.
For those readers in the Lower Mainland of BC. If you feel the need to experience the real deal then check out Fraser Downs in Cloverdale. Friday nights and Sunday afternoons. It’s a family affair – bring the kids.
