Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame Announces 2005 Inductees
The Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame, the most exclusive fraternity in the country, announced its 2005 inductees at a reception held in the Hall of Fame located at Woodbine Racetrack in
Toronto on May 11, 2005.
The class of 2005 features eight new members including six horses and two people that will be honoured at the evening induction ceremony on Thursday, August 25 at the Toronto Congress Centre.
David Willmot, Chairman and CEO of Woodbine Entertainment Group and harness horse trainer Stew Firlotte are the people to be recognized for their careers and outstanding accomplishments.
The outstanding Standardbred trotters, Glorys Comet and Garland Lobell will also be inducted along with the accomplished Thoroughbreds Cool Reception and Norcliffe. The Veteran's Committee unanimously elected Standardbred Armbro Omaha and Thoroughbred Anita's Son to complete the lineup of 2005 inductees.
David Willmot, owner of Kinghaven Farms, and the man considered to have had the greatest impact on horse racing in North America during the past 10 years will be recognized in the Builders' category.
Industry officials, representing both breeds, have lauded Willmot's influence in rescuing the financially troubled Ontario Jockey Club in the mid 1990s and making it the model for other racetracks. The 55-year-old Chairman and CEO of Woodbine Entertainment and his father, D.G. Willmot, built Kinghaven Farms into one of Canada's premier breeding and racing stables. Its champions include Izvestia, With Approval, Carotene, Alywow and Play The King. Willmot was the first Canadian to be president of Harness Tracks of America, and is co-owner of Standardbred champions Cabrini Hanover and Southwind Allaire.
Norcliffe, an exceptionally talented racehorse during the 1970s at Woodbine with 14 victories and over $434,066 in earnings, added more luster to his stature during an abbreviated but impressive stallion career which produced 33 stakes winners while standing at Gateway Farms, Hyllview and Crescent Farm.
Owned by Lt. Col Charles Baker, trained by Roger Attfield and ridden by Jeff Fell, Norcliffe was Canada's Horse of the Year in 1976 following a tremendous season that included victories in the Queen's
Plate and Prince of Wales Stakes. He also won the richest races for Canadian breds at ages two, three and four. - the Coronation Futurity, Queen's Plate and Canadian Maturity.
Cool Reception, a son of Nearctic-Windy Answer is regarded as one of the top Canadian breds for his outstanding racing ability but more so for the courage he displayed in finishing second in the 1967 Belmont Stakes while running the last 200 yards of the race on a broken foreleg. Trained for much of his career by Hall of Famer Lou Cavalaris, he won seven races in a row including Canada's two richest events for two-year-olds, the Coronation Futurity and The Cup and Saucer Stakes.
Anita's Son, bred in Ireland but shipped to Canada as a weanling, was a winner of a record 16 stakes races on the Ontario Jockey Club circuit and finished second or third in nine other stakes for owner M.J. (Jim) Boylen's Lanson Farms in Malton, ON and Hall of Fame trainer Art Warner. He won races at various distances from 6 furlongs to 1 1/4 miles and competed on the dirt and the turf. The son of Krakatao and Anita was Canada's
leading handicap horse in 1960 and 1961. Retired NHL star, Dennis Hull will be the guest speaker at the Induction Ceremony on August 25 at the Toronto Congress Centre. For more information contact Louis Cauz at 416-675-3993 or visit www.canadian-
