This is the fourth year that Standardbred Canada (SC) has facilitated events across the country. Showing appreciation for the caretakers keeping our horses healthy and safe while training and racing under unusual circumstances and protocols during the pandemic is important, and SC would like to thank the many racetracks, associations, owners, trainers, breeders, drivers, volunteers and stakeholders that are all taking part to make this happen.
