C’est la fin de semaine de la Fête du Canada. Je suis à Montréal, et je marche le long de la ligne droite arrière de l’Hippodrome Blue Bonnets.
La piste est à l’abandon, laissée dans l’état où elle était le jour de sa fermeture en 2009. Il n’y a pas âme qui vive en vue.
It’s the Canada Day weekend. I’m in Montreal, walking along the backstretch of Blue Bonnets Raceway.
The track is abandoned, left how it was on its closing day in 2009. Not a person in sight.
Il y a plus d’un an, on m’informait que Standardbred Canada allait accueillir la World Trotting Conference (WTC) 2017 ainsi que le Championnat mondial des conducteurs (WDC) à Charlottetown, Île-du-Prince-Édouard.
Over a year ago I was advised that Standardbred Canada was to host to the 2017 World Trotting Conference (WTC) and World Driving Championship (WDC) in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.
Well, it has been almost 13 months to the day of being told this and we are now hosting delegations from 12 countries around the world to discuss standardbred horse racing on a global perspective.
