A full 100 years before the confederation of Canada, the first advertised horse race took place in 1767 on the Plains of Abraham. The race was won by a mare ironically named Modesty and her rider, Captain Prescott. 250 years later, while the country is celebrating its 150th anniversary, we are celebrating the thrilling and diverse sporting industry that grew out of that moment in a unique collectors’ edition magazine.
From humble beginnings as an amusing pastime for soldiers, horse racing in Canada developed into a massive industry thanks to the passionate involvement and contributions of Canadians from coast-to-coast. Their influence will be documented in this exclusive glossy publication which will feature the people, horses and pivotal moments in the history of Thoroughbred, Standardbred, and Quarter Horse racing that made the sports what they are today.
