This is a big week for Ontario breeders and the action starts tonight with the Canadian Million yearling sales stakes at Woodbine.
Horses that went through the sale – sold or no sold, will contest 6 races and breeders stand to win some nice breeders’ awards and perhaps bolster pedigrees of siblings in next week’s yearling sale.

RACE NOTES – PENDER HARBOUR is the darling of Woodbine and a winner of this race in the past. At $1.809 million he is the 3rd richest Ontario bred ever and he cost $17,000. The upstart MELMICH is the scary one with his flashy form. Once a $5,000 yearling purchase, he has a strong late kick and should be tough.
