Trot Insider has learned that Best Risque p, 7, 1:53.3 ($240,141), one of the top mares in Atlantic Canada over the past four seasons, has passed away at the age of 11.

Best Risque, a daughter of Cammibest out of Risque Business, has passed after having recently sustained an injury while racing at Red Shores’ Charlottetown Driving Park.

From 276 lifetime starts, Best Risque recorded 62 wins, 60 second-place finishes and 40 thirds. She banked $240,131 in purse earnings and took her lifetime mark of 1:53.3 at the age of seven over Mohawk Racetrack.

More recently, Best Risque established herself as one of the top Open Mares in Atlantic Canada. Over the past four racing seasons she won 23 races, recorded 17 second-place finishes and 18 thirds from 94 Maritime starts. During that span she banked just short of $45,000 in purse earnings and also won in 1:56.1 with several of her charted lines also in the 1:55 range.

Best Risque is co-owned and trained by Brian Ladner as well as co-owners Lillian and Kevin Ladner, all of Charlottetown, PEI.

Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the connections of Best Risque.
