Le dernier mois de courses sous harnais à la l’hippodrome Woodbine est proche, et cela ne passe pas aussi facilement pour moi que je l’aurais pensé.

L’année 2018 a connu un démarrage rapide dont la tenue de notre première rencontre du conseil d’administration de l’année, l’Assemblée générale annuelle des membres, la cérémonie des 29e O’Brien Awards, ainsi qu’une annonce très spéciale de Standardbred Canada à l’industrie.
