At seven Forte Dei Marmi won the Singspiel Stakes (G3) under Joel Rosario at one and a half miles on the Woodbine turf, and his second Sky Classic S (G2) in a row with jockey Eurico Da Silva. His apogee came with his Northern Dancer Turf S (G1) victory, at a mile and a half on the Woodbine turf, again partnered with Da Silva. Forte Dei Marmi earned Canada’s Sovereign Award as Champion Grass Horse for 2013. He competed for another year in graded stakes.

  • $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU
    $400,000 Pat Day Mile Presented by LG&E and KU (Grade III) 95th Running – Saturday, May 4, 2019 (Kentucky Derby Day) 3-Year-Olds at One Mile on Dirt at Churchill Downs Stakes Record – 1:34.18, Competitive Edge (2015) Track Record – 1:33.26, Fruit Ludt (2014) Name Origin: Formerly known as the Derby Trial, the one-mile race for 3-year-olds was moved from Opening Night to Kentucky Derby Day and renamed the Pat Day Mile in 2015 to honor Churchill Downs’ all-time leading jockey Pat Day. Day, enshrined in the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2005, won a record 2,482 races at Churchill Downs, including 156 stakes, from 1980-2005. None was more memorable than his triumph aboard W.C. Partee’s Lil E. Tee in the 1992 Kentucky Derby. He rode in a record 21 consecutive renewals of the Kentucky Derby, a streak that ended when hip surgery forced him to miss the 2005 “Run for the Roses.” Day’s Triple Crown résumé also included five wins in the Preakness Stakes – one short of Eddie Arcaro’s record – and three victories in the Belmont Stakes. His 8,803 career wins rank fourth all-time and his mounts that earned $297,914,839 rank second. During his career Day lead the nation in wins six times (1982-84, ’86, and ’90-91). His most prolific single day came on Sept. 13, 1989, when Day set a North American record by winning eight races from nine mounts at Arlington Park.

The 158th running of the 1 1/4-mile Queen’s Plate, North America’s oldest annually run stakes race, lured a field of 13 Canadian-bred 3-year-olds vying for shares of the $1 million pot. Luis Contreras had picked up the mount on Stronach Stable’s Holy Helena for the first time in the Woodbine Oaks, which she won by one length. In the Queen’s Plate, her margin of victory was 3 ½ lengths. “I was very confident today after winning the Oaks, and last Monday I breezed her on the surface and she did it pretty easy,” said Contreras, who won his second Queen’s Plate, the first coming with the filly Inglorious in 2011. As expected, State of Honor had made the early pace in the Queen’s Plate through a quarter in :24.17, half in :48.67, and six furlongs in 1:13.23. Megagray, who had stalked the front-runner from second place in his first start with blinkers, poked his head in front in early stretch and led by that margin with the mile going in 1:37.64.

  • Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame Inductees Announced
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Mon Sep 27 18:23:05 2021 / +0000 GMT Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductees announced Aurora, King and Caledon will see new representation in the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame's Class of 2020. The Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame selects ten inductees each year to join a prestigious group of individuals and thoroughbreds. King City native and thoroughbred horse ?Play the King? from Kinghaven Farms, standardbred horse McWicked, owned by the owner of SSG Gloves in Aurora, Ed James, and Caledon resident Michael Keogh have been announced as the inductees, according the Hall. Linda Rainey, Managing Director of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame, says the induction process is quite extensive. ?It's based on significant contributions to horse racing in Canada,? she explains. ?It's voted on two committees for an individual to be inducted.? The nominating committee oversees all of the public submissions. People within this committee have historical knowledge of the sport, current racing knowledge, breeding and background knowledge. These votes determine who proceeds to the ballot. Rainey believes there were 80 nominations per breed presented to the Standardbred and Thoroughbred Nomination Committees this year. Ballots are categorized and sent off to the final group of voters who ultimately decide which inductees are named for the year -- all of whom, of course, hold notable records to entice voters. Trained by Roger Attfield, Play the King has had an exceptional four-year career. When the horse was only four years of age, victory at the Toboggan Handicap (G3) in Aqueduct sparked a good run of form.
