The Alberta Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association does an excellent job in coverage of horse racing in Alberta. Its website and Facebook page are filled with stories and photos during the year.
This week the ATOBA sets out its ’12 Days of Christmas’, some of the amazing moments at Century Mile/Century Downs.
The classic Christmas Carol “The 12 Days of Christmas” is a list of all of the things that my true love gave to me. We are doing our own take on the catchy carol, and have created a list of 12 great things that Alberta Thoroughbred racing gave to us this in 2019!
The ATOBA 12 Days of Christmas (featuring a number of gifts that we received from Alberta Thoroughbred racing in 2019)!
On the First Day of Christmas Racing Gave to Me:
Tom Rycroft won the 1st race at Century Mile
Opening day at Century Mile was a new beginning for racing in Alberta. Trainer Tom Rycroft wrote himself into horse racing history with his win in the first race on opening day with Born in A Breeze. Born in a Breeze is owned by Tom Rycroft, Dale Stark and Lewis Mailer, was ridden by jockey Rigo Sarmiento, and was groomed by Jill Klubi.
