The first frost in the Greater Toronto Area greeted horsepeople Saturday morning, Oct. 17, when the E.P. Taylor turf course was opened to horses preparing for the Breeders’ Stakes and Wonder Where Stakes.
It is the former race that will grab all the attention as folk hero MIGHTY HEART has a date with destiny Oct. 24.
In a year that has been unlike any other in modern times, this one-eyed, feisty colt owned and bred by Port Perry’s Larry Cordes is the first horse in 17 years heading into the Breeders’ with a chance at Canadian Triple Crown glory.
