BC Cup Day, Hastings Park, Race 10, 1 3/8 miles, Purse 22K 56.3GP [01:18]
This was the day's final race, a marathon test of endurance for these 10 horses. It's an unusual distance because few horses ever have cause to race this far, & few are bred to relish it. The conditions were track fast and dry, favouring speed horses, with partial sun and high humidity, with a temperature of 28 degrees. The video picks up well into the race, during which the runners crossed the finish line a rtotal of 3 times, around the 5/8 mile oval in Vancouver.
