The Word on Trot....

"As part of my daily ritual I visit the Standardbred Canada web site. I find it informative and it keeps me up to date with all the happenings related to the industry in Canada." John Curtin, JC International Limited, Auckland, New Zealand's Leading Exporter

"I must check the Standardbred Canada web site 10 times a day. In order to keep up to date on the latest news on both a national and international level, I consider it essential.

Covering racing coast to coast and across the globe, Trot Magazine may be the only publication I can honestly say I read cover to cover, including the ads." Allan MacInnis, pedigree specialist, Nova Scotia

"I advertise in Trot Magazine because of the excellent sales results. When Winning Ways introduced Canada's first Drench Bit, the phone would ring from dawn 'til dusk. We were getting calls from all over Canada, the United States and even Germany. Trot Magazine has helped to build a strong and repeat customer base for my company." Mary Windel, President of Winning Ways
