Sometimes it’s the quiet, non-unassuming types that make the most noise.

Artie is a 3-year-old gelding owned and bred by Winnipeggers Ken Lee, Dennis Mitchell and Don and Gaye Bell. He looks like your everyday Thoroughbred with just plain brown colouring, one small dot of white on his forehead. He is a friendly fellow who hangs out in his stall in the barn of trainer Martin Drexler at Woodbine and was considered a nice little future racing prospect.
