Fred was the epitome of a “small” breeder, developing his Indian Ridge Farm outside my hometown of Frankfort, Ky. He refused to pay much for stud fees, foaled the mares himself, and raced most of the offspring, in recent years with his son, Buff, as trainer.
Racing fans recall the two stars of the stable, champion Groupie Doll and the grand gelding Brass Hat, the latter now being ridden in horse shows by Fred’s granddaughter.

Sal is desperately seeking the next Dread Pirate Roberts.
Sal’s been subbing since Phil got lambasted by the Battersea omnibus but Sal’s got other pesci da friggere and is only subbing on an interim basis until the 2016 Triple Crown races are done.
The last couple of weeks Sal’s been like a steam train running out of coal.
If you know anyone looking to be the next Dread Pirate Roberts at www.holybull.ca please have them contact Sal at hs@holybull.ca.
Sal says that there aren’t too many candidates out there as being the next Dread Pirate Roberts at www.holybull.ca is a tonna time consuming work with very little reward.

Sal was scouring through Phil’s archives and noticed that Phil thought the prelude to the Belmont was his favourite time as suddenly some of the grande mela’s best writers became thoroughbred fans.

ESPN – DRF – Markazi – In Preakness infield, party is the only event that matters
The new K-Days concert stage in the track infield will be a trial run of the festival concept planned for the site because this year marks the last season of horse racing at Northlands. Under its Vision 2020 plan, Northlands Park would become an outdoor concert and events venue.
“Hopefully, everybody that’s in the horse racing world will see that we’ve made a substantial investment to really celebrate horse racing in its final year,” Reid said.
For the final year, the thoroughbred and standardbred racing seasons will be extended from May to October. Racing-related events include Park After Dark, a patio party every Friday night from June 3 to Sept. 2; Family Day on June 25; Canada Day; Retro Day on July 9 and the last Canadian Derby on Aug. 20. The Alberta Breeders Fall Classic takes place Sept. 17.
For the first time, the Canadian Derby will feature a full-day lineup of entertainment including a headline concert by Alberta-born country music singer Paul Brandt.

Edmonton Market Area – Industry and Fan Bulletin
Upon closing of the Expressions of Interest period (Thursday May 19, 2015, 3:00 p.m.) for building and operating an “A“ Class Racetrack in the Edmonton market area, Horse Racing Alberta is pleased to announce that seven (7) Expressions of Interest from applicants interested in owning and operating a premier horse racing facility in or near Edmonton have been submitted.
An independent committee will now review the Expressions of Interest’s received and will determine applicants to move to the Request for Proposal Stage.
Sal says that 7 interested groups that think they can do a much better job of promoting horse racing in the Edmonton area bodes well for the sport and speaks volumes about Northlands Park’s performance over the years.

NORTHLANDS south side infield track concerts over KDAYS is PLAN D/ DEBRIS being implemented to ensure that the track surface is clear of damage during early morning training hours as their penny pinching could endanger the safety of exercise riders and equines!

JOAN PETROWSKI hits a milestone with 10,000 trainer starts in ALBERTA, she is racing secretary’s fantasy and her contributions for owners and racehorses should be recognized.
