     LOOKING BACK

MEMORABLE MOTHER"S DAY 2012-  Black Letter  WORKOUT - which means the  time was the best of the day. Crimson Deed's  first workout with jockey Perry Winters  from the gate  - Northlands Park . Perry Winters commented -" Crimson Deed has a long stride and was so smooth that I didn't realize how fast she was going until I looked at the ground she covered."
 As she ran so easily down the home stretch to the wire - many lengths ahead of her work mates- the image was just like her Alberta  Champion Mother Crimson Hue !!

This was an exciting project designed to be EDUCATIONAL and to promote an interest in Thoroughbreds *** hoping to  get new people involved in the excitement and social aspects of Thoroughbred Racing in Alberta. 

 We had many events and day trips  to the farm , training center and racetrack that brought  a more personal  connection to the people and wonderful horses involved in our breeding , training and racing industry.
Participants had  a chance to meet the  Alberta Thoroughbreds  with  Famous ROYAL BLOODLINES !!

                                                                      IT STARTS WITH A DREAM 
                " A Racehorse is an animal that can take several thousand people for a ride at the same time !"
 
*** 2012 racing season RACEHORSE  was   Alberta - Bred filly " Crimson Deed" - daughter of  Alberta Champion Filly  Crimson Hue. Crimson Deed  followed  in her mother's HOOFPRINTS as a FAN favourite !!
 Many Edmonton  race fans profited from her LONGSHOT win on June 30, 2012 - paying $ 57.80 for a $2.00 bet !!

  From Crimson Deed's  win on June 30 , 2012 , a charitable donation was made to support Brain Research at the University of Alberta to find better treatments and a cure for Brain Cancer.{ in memory of  Ricky Hansen -her mother Crimson Hue's groom who sadly passed away in 2011.}
 *** Above see  paddock picture  Ricky Hansen and Crimson Hue prior to her Stakes win in the M.R. Jenkins Stakes Race in  Calgary's Stampede Park  May,2001.}
