Yes this is a Thoroughbred blog, but for one night I want to talk about Standardbreds. One horse in particular in matter of fact. Who may that be? Why it's the one and only San Pail! Tomorrow night is the O'Brien Awards which is the Canadian Standardbred version of the Soverign Awards (which in turn are the Canadian Thoroughbred version of the Eclipses). It has already been announced that San Pail was the unanimous winner for Older Male and is the heavy favorite to be named Horse of the Year. There is also a huge chance that he could be named the Dan Patch (US Standardbred Awards) HOY as well. Here are some of his races:
His third Maple Leaf Trot in a row
The Nat Ray on Hambo day
Credit Winner nailing Lucky Jim on the wire and setting a new track record in the process
The crowing achivement of his year defeating two Europeans in the Breeders' Crown
The OBrien's are tomorrow night at 9pm, I'll be watching online and rooting for San Pail to be named HOY!
