While the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame gears up for its Induction Ceremony next Thursday, August 18 at the Mississauga Convention Centre, items for the silent auction fundraiser keep pouring in

.

Generous donors like Adena Springs, The Royal Horse Show, Seelster Farms, Windfields Farm and the Woodbine Entertainment Group have beefed up the list of items which will see all proceeds go directly toward helping the Hall of Fame recognize the achievements of those that have built and established the roots of horse racing in Canada.

So far, a stallion season to Canadian Hall of Fame thoroughbred racehorse, Langfuhr, donated by owner and Hall of Fame inductee Gustav Schickedanz, and a halter from international sire and son of Northern Dancer, Sadler’s Wells, donated by thoroughbred trainer Reade Baker top the list of items. From sports memorabilia and tickets to equine art and collectables, there’s a little something for everyone.

The silent auction is just one component of the night which will celebrate the induction of 11 thoroughbred and standardbred individuals. Live music by Matthew James, games, a live auction by Bill Dickenson, dinner and a tribute to Northern Dancer’s 50th birthday will round out the night.

Silent Auction items are available for viewing here. Bidding will begin during cocktail hour at 5:30 p.m. Tickets to the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony & Fundraising Dinner are $175, or $1,700 for a Table Sponsorship.
