Canadian Horse Racing Hall Of Fame Inducts Class Of 2025
Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame ’25 Thoroughbred Inductions
The 2025 Thoroughbred Jockey inductee is Edmonton, Alta. born Perry Winters, who started his career in Lethbridge, Alta., in 1980. By 1984, he was riding with the “big boys” in Edmonton and Calgary on the province’s ‘A’ circuit. During a 33-year career, which concluded in 2012, he reached $22 million in purse earnings. His win total of 2,984 races ranks him second among Alberta-born jockeys, exceeded only by CHRHF Member Gary Belanger. Seven times Alberta’s leading jockey, Winters’ best year was 1991 when he won 241 races with his mounts earning $1,249,568. Winters’ stats also include well over 100 stakes wins, including the Canadian Derby in 1983 with Cozy Grey. He had his first 100-win season in 1986 – a feat he would repeat the next 10 years in a row.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Holybull.ca acknowledges the 33 years of Perry Winter’s racing contributions to Alberta horse racing resulting in his induction into Canadian horse racing hall of fame. Perry’s speech was brief, along with ring presentation from son Tre.
HRA/HBPA should be in the hall of shame for no acknowledgement on their websites today, and also spinning the narrative by praising the financial support for travel expenses, not our business or concern.
MINISTER NALLY releases HRA annual report in late June and also in main HRA website, violating the terms of HRA rule 10.2 about legislative reporting. For 6 weeks available for review and under 200 viewing hits. Ssame old/same old!
Century mile 2nd qtr earnings out,same old/same old,still losing$$$.
Positive news that century/hra/hbpa will not confirm or deny are 2025 mile daily handles, may 396k + 32k/24, june 412k -28k/24,july 403k +36k/24.
