The G20 Summit was in Toronto last weekend. The summit had the usual assortment of characteristics - protests, high price tags,, politicos, etc. But in an interesting twist, we had a track handicapper bring us a headline.
On Sunday, as part of the G20, Mike Hamilton of WEG was arrested.
Let's have a pop quiz. Mike was arrested for:
a) Protesting the 28% Woodbine Tri takeout
b) Holding a sign that said "Free Walter Case"
or
c) Walking around his neighbourhood
If you chose c) you are pretty much correct.

Trot, and Standardbred Canada, due to people like Darryl Kaplan and Kim Fisher, have been doing some good things. The story above is one example. For another, how about the behind the scenes story on trainer Riina Rekela? Nice job folks. This is not your grandfather's Trot Magazine.

Thanks for getting my morning started well.
Yowsa. Show some of these types of clips on regular TV or on a sports show and watch us get the younger generation to show up.
Like it or not, sex sells.
