We present a celebration of Canadian racing in 2022 with some images from Mr. Will Wong, John Watkins, Julie Wright (DRF), Rebecca Gullett, Santino DiPaola, Lisa Thompson, Patti Tubbs, Ryan Haynes (Alberta), Terence and Cindy Dulay, Jason Halstead (Assiniboia), Michael Bye, and Laurie Langley .

Some get paid a little bit for their efforts, many do not. It is a labour of love (much like writing about this great sport) and a chance to promote horse racing. Thank you to everyone who contributed to Canadian Thoroughbred with their images.
