WOODBINE MILE, SEPT. 7 Win and You're In Race
KIP DEVILLE had a big workout yesterday at Aqueduct, 1:14 2/5. on the turf with his last 3 furlongs in :35 1/5 according to the DAILY RACING FORM.
(at right, Kip Deville winnig the Poker Stakes over TAM LIN, who was unplaced in his Woodbine trip last weekend after some trouble, Vanessa Ng photo)
The continent's top turf miler has run twice this year - winning the Maker's Mark Mile at Keeneland in April and the Poker at Belmont in July.
KIP DEVILLE, 2nd in last year's Woodbine Mile, is trained by Richard Dutrow Jr., trainer of Big Brown among others, and also trainer of Queen's Plate winner WILD DESERT, who snuck in and snuck out of Woodbine amind controversy (sketchy workout patterns, betting coup).
And Dutrow may also send FROST GIANT, winner of the Grade 1 Suburban, for the Northern Dancer Stakes on th same day as Mile. Frost Giant has won on grass too.
KIP DEVILLE figures to be a big, big favourite for the Woodbine Mile since the nominee list is light with graded stakes performers.
WOODBINE TONIGHT
THE CAT IS BACK
The Eternal Search Stakes is much like a lot of the other overnight stakes races to be run this summer, small field but with a bit of drama.
AUTHENICAT (D'Wildcat) has not proven herself at 1 1/16 miles - although she tends to move too soon at the trip - but should still be a big favourite for the race tonight against just 4 rivals.
KRZ EXEC is riding a winning streak of 3 races, one this year, and it is good she has had some time off since that gut-wrenching Ontario Damsel Stakes score on turf.
Should be a reasonably interesting race on what should be a nice, cool night.
Enter the SCORE 1-2-3 contest tonight...

HALL OF FAME INDUCTIONS TOMORROW NIGHT
There are lots of places racing folks need to be in the next few weeks: Yearling Sales Stakes day next Monday, the yearling sale Tuesday, the Woodbine Mile on Sunday the 7th.
Another big event is tomorrow night's CANADIAN HORSE RACING HALL OF FAME induction dinner at the Mississauga Convention Centre.
Champion trainer ROBERT TILLER is one of numerous inductees in the throughbred and standardbred divisions.
Join the hall of Fames folks for an evening of sharing memories in celebration of the other 2008 inductees - Peaceful Way, Real Desire, Smart Strike, Wilderness Song, Louis Cauz, Cliff Champman Jr., Pierre Levesque.
The Hall of Fame is located in the west entrance of Woodbine racetrack, as you enter the elevators to the dining rooms.
(Photo, from www.canadianhorseracing
halloffame.com, the b
est part of the Hall
- 'the way we were')
It was the early 1970s when racetrack folks such as John Ferguson, Pat McMahon and Bruce Walker presented the idea of a Hall of Fame to Racetracks Canada. A ring idea was also presented with a logo design developed by Elaine MacPherson.
It was 20 years before the Hall of Fame actually had a place to live - Woodbine racetrack.
According to Walker, an initial plan to have an actual building on the property for the Hall of Fame never came to fruition because of tensions between western and eastern racing lovers.
The current manager of the Hall of Fame is Louis Cauz who was voted to be inducted into the Hall this year.
IN THE CARDS...
Woodbine Entertainment, Roger Attffield Inc. and a litany of racing folks, farms, etc. chipped into make the 5th annual C.A.R.D. golf tournament yesterday a super day.
The charitable group is Community Riding for the Disabled, horses proving therapeutic comfort for special needs kids.
Jason Portuondo of Sportsnet was the Master of Ceremonies and the crowd of some 80 plus golfers included some of the notables of the racing biz.
FORT MALFUCTION
Several thousands of dollars, reported to be in the $60,000 range, was refunded from race 4 yesterday due to a tote malfunction. Horses in the $4,000 claiming race ran for purse money only.
WARNING - This story of a horse rescue is tough to read... and the picture on the site is even more gruesome.
THOROUGHBLOG NOTE: This mare KRISTIN ANN never raced but had many foals and her most recent were foaled/bred nu New York by MIKE PALENSCAR.
Secretariat's foal rescued by three local women
by Josh Weinfuss / News Herald Writer
If Secretariat could see one of his daughter's now, he probably wouldn't be the calm, nonchalant horse he was known to be off the track.
Secretariat entered horse racing history after winning the first Triple Crown of the 1970s, and remained among the kings of the Sports of Kings until his death in 1989.
He was pampered, loved, and taken care of better than most humans, which makes the condition of his daughter, Kristin Ann, even more startling.
One of 600 Secretariat foals, Kristin Ann stands comfortably these days in a pen off Britton Road in unincorporated Bay County near Lynn Haven. One look at her and signs of neglect are obvious. She's bony, slow moving and hasn't had a foal in 10 years.
But Kristin Ann, 23, still looks like her father, with a neck and head resembling the thoroughbred legend. She has the white sock on her right hind leg with a brown spot. Secretariat had a sock on his left hind leg with the same spot.
Even their markings are similar, with a star-like mark and a stripe on the head. Now cared for by Jamie Coughlin, Kathy Poffenberger and Pam Dowling - the self-proclaimed Kristin Ann Syndicate - her recovery isn't guaranteed, but one thing is for sure, Kristin Ann is in the hands of three women who care about her as much as Secretariat's handlers cared for him. A swift rescue Coughlin has rescued more than 200 animals during the past 20 years.
She already has a horse on three acres of land off Britton, and a goat meanders around, playing with the horse in a sight that draws immediate laughter. A harmless bulldog greets visitors who enter through the front gate.
Yet Coughlin wanted more. She was friends separately with Poffenberger and Dowling, and knew each wanted to rescue a horse. Poffenberger and Dowling grew up riding and caring for horses, but hadn't owned one for 25 years.
For both, it was time. Searching the Internet, Coughlin came across a daughter of Secretariat a few months ago, but the trio was outbid. It happened once more.. read the rest..

Hi Jen, I was one of Kristin's "moms" and we thank you for helping publicize her plight (and by extension that of so many other forgotten horses). We miss Kristin SO much but we don't regret a moment we spent with her!
We would love to track down her foals and find out what happened to them. If anyone knows of one please email me at summerhorse.geo@yahoo.com
