Another Beach For MacGrath?- Truro Daily News

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Another ‘Beach? – Local – News – Truro Daily News.

Don’t expect another miracle from Weigh the Odds, says trainer MacGrath

Common wisdom tells us it’s one of the most unlikely occurrences; something that happens only to the insanely lucky.

Some say Brent MacGrath had his windfall with Somebeachsomewhere, his legendary pacer that became arguably the greatest standardbred of all time with 20 wins in 21 starts and more than $3 million in earnings.

And the MacGraths would agree with those people.

Brent MacGrath pats his newest horse Weigh the Odds on the nose while taking the two-year-old colt for a walk recently at the barns at Truro Raceway. MacGrath, who trained world champion Somebeachsomewhere, is hoping Weigh the Odds can qualify to race in.

A Matchup That Will Never Happen | Standardbred Canada

Friday, June 11th, 2010

A Matchup That Will Never Happen | Standardbred Canada.

While these two horses will never meet on the track and pedigree predicts they’ll never meet in the breeding shed, the battle for supremacy among two potential future stars of harness racing has already begun.

Hanover Shoe Farms recently posted this video with two highly touted foals of 2010. The first in the video is the Andover Hall-D Train full brother to 2007 U.S. Horse Of The Year Donato Hanover. The second weanling (with the lighter bay colour) is the foal of 2008 North American Horse of the Year Somebeachsomewhere and 2001 U.S. Horse Of The Year Bunny Lake.
