Unfortunately Woodbine Racetrack is not a venue that will be available for this year's sale, but we're thrilled to be able to offer the Canadian Open at a terrific facility like Country Heritage Park. We've been hosting the auction on Sundays in recent years, but a Wednesday format allows us to proceed with as little inconvenience as possible to horsemen and potential buyers.

I get the best of both worlds. I work as a scientist during the day, and then become a TV presenter during the evening. The working environments are completely different, and 1 thrive on the contrast.

The crowd was excellent and, as usual, high quality yearlings sold well and poor quality yearlings did not.

The sale was a first for us and we were very happy with the end result.

The forecast has changed dramatically during the past 3 years. I get involved in new ideas, production and graphic design. It's scientific, challenging and most importantly, great fun!
