Monsieur le Gouverneur Christie,

Dear Governor Christie,

With a disturbing host of challenges facing standardbred breeders and the future of their agricultural lands in Nova Scotia, one more issue seems to be bubbling to the surface.

Sachez pourquoi l’entraîneur et éleveur, Bob McIntosh, croit au fait que courir en troupeau aide les yearlings à se développer en chevaux combatifs et ­compétitifs se forgeant une attitude de ­gagnant en piste.

Learn why trainer and breeder Bob McIntosh believes running with a herd helps yearlings develop into tough, competitive horses that take a winning attitude to the track.

Not many horses make a successful return to the track after taking a breeding break. And even less, if any, bank more money (and smash more records) than they did during their first go-around.
