Handle for May buoyed by @churchilldowns, despite it losing Thurby. @mtrgaming had highest handle/race since Covid (& 2007 before that). Nice gains by other nighttime signals like @EVDRCH, @cntymile, @HollywoodPenn, & @prmracing as well

A longstanding #ownership group based in Western #Canada won the #richest Thoroughbred race in #Texas for the second time on Monday, and could soon be targeting a major race in #Iowa.

"It’s really been quite a team, quite a partnership.”

Racing for Dave: Giesbrecht Drives to Emotional Championship Victory by @CurtisJStock
Lurking beneath the soft tendrils of a warm sunny Saturday afternoon at Calgary’s Century Downs smoldered darkness.

It was the Western Regional Driving Championship where the top eight drivers in Western #Canada were competing.

British Columbia’s Dave Hudon qualified and was supposed to take part but, sadly, cancer sidelined him.

“This one’s for Dave,” said Phil Giesbrecht, who won three of the last four races to take the title over Kelly Hoerdt.

“You couldn’t find a nicer or a better guy. He would give you the shirt off his back.

“And he’s as good of a horseman as he is a person,” said Giesbrecht, who is married to Jocelyn, who is Dave’s niece.

The Hudons are one of harness racing’s most famous families.

Jocelyn is the Marketing and Event Coordinator for The Alberta Standardbred Horse Association.

“I wish I was competing against him (Saturday). He would have been tough to beat.”

Dave twice won half of the cards at B.C.’s Fraser Downs.

“It was a fun afternoon but also very emotional,” said Giesbrecht, who even used Dave’s red sulky for his eight races.

“Dave needs a miracle.”

Giesbrecht and Hoerdt now advance to the National Driving Championship at Ontario’s Clinton Raceway on July 26.
