Santa Takes On The Grinch In Match Race

Holiday cheer filled the Century Mile grandstand this past weekend after harness racing fans witnessed Santa defeat The Grinch in the race to save Christmas.

After throwing a fit and delaying the start of the race, The Grinch eventually emerged for the Century Mile match race with Santa. Braving North Pole-like temperatures in Edmonton on Saturday, Rudolph dashed ahead at the start of the race with Santa sitting chilly all the way to win while a sour Grinch, in rein to Max, chased in vain. 

Santa added Logan Gillis and Marissa Kleinsasser to the nice list for providing the horses for the non-wagering race.
