Casino Drive Overwhelms Competition in the Peter Pan Stakes

Horse Racing News - Editor - 12 May 2008

No-one has more faith in Casino Drive, than his owner, Hidetoshi Yamamoto, and his trainer, Kazuo Fujisawa. Together, they have carefully and slowly nurtured the yearling, which Yamamoto purchased in 2006, for $950 000. Casino Drive arrived in United States from Japan on the 30th of April, not only to make his American debut but to get a training race in, before the Belmont Stakes. And while Casino Drive was enjoying his second start to his racing career and first horse racing event in over two months, spectators were astonished and in disbelief, as the chestnut comfortably glided across the finish line.


Bay Meadows Racecourse Closes Down

Horse Racing News - Editor - 12 May 2008 Article Illustration

Bay Meadows Racecourse in San Mateo County, opened for the first time in 1934. It is one of the oldest racetracks, and it is rich in history and fond memories for those who have faithfully been attending live horse racing in the past seventy four years. Bay Meadows Racecourse has also welcomed legendary racehorses, such as Cigar, Citation, Silky Sullivan and John Henry to its grounds. In 1938, thousands of spectators came from far and wide, to witness Seabiscuit make history on the track. All these moments of loss and victory, came to an end on Sunday 11 May 2008, with the last day of the final racing season at Bay Meadows Racecourse.

Horse Racing News - Editor - 09 May 2008 Article Illustration

On the 20th of May, the names of the inductees to the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame will be announced. Until then, the twenty-two nominees will have to wait patiently to find out if their names will be read at the induction ceremony, taking place in August. A twenty person committee has been announced to vote, and to be inducted, a nominee must receive a seventy-five percent vote. Of the twenty-two nominees, there are few names that stand out above the rest, and that many are hoping will be inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.

Golden Snake - A True Champion

Features - Editor - 09 May 2008 Article Illustration

There are a handful of thoroughbred racehorses out there, that not only perform beyond expectations on the race track, but go on to sire magnificent racing champions. One of these spectacular stallions goes by the name of Golden Snake. His pedigree alone speaks volumes, but his own performance and that of his offspring, has propelled him into being one of the top stallions in stud, presently in the world.
