Anderson’s Wild Rose Farm TOBA Winners
One of the Thoroughbred breeding industry's highest honours came to British Columbia last month as Bryan and Carol Anderson's Wild Rose Farm was awarded the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association award as Outstanding Canadian breeder for 2006.
The TOBA award is given each year to a breeder who exemplifies excellence in the thoroughbred indus- try.
Wild Rose Farm has been breeding
racehorses for 20 years and was British Columbia’s leading breeder in 2005.
The award, the first for Western Canada, was voted on by a commit- tee of CTHS membership and pre- sented to the Andersons in Kentucky in September.
"You spend a lot of nights out there in the barn wondering what you're doing there." said Andersen "Winning something like this, you realize why you do it."

News In Review
• According to Daily Racing Form, The Hastings Park Conservancy has appealed the decision by the city of Vancouver to approve slot machines at the racetrack. It will likely take at least four months before the case is heard before the B.C. Court of Appeal, and the entire process could take up to 10 months. The Hastings Park Conservancy is a local citizens group which lost its lawsuit to halt the installation of slot machines at Hastings when Vancouver City Council approved the slots in July 2004.
• Brother Derek’s trainer Dan Hendricks was quoted on the Thoroughbred Today website as saying “We know he can still run....We aren’t giving up on him” after the colt finished fourth in the El Cajon Stakes on September 2. Brother Derek’s next start may be the $500,000 G2 Goodwood Breeders’ Cup Handicap on October 7 at Santa Anita Park.
• The ORC hearing into the dis- qualification of Malakoff, who fin- ished first in the Prince of Wales Stakes on July 16 at Fort Erie but was demoted to fifth, will be held on December 13. Shillelagh Slew was awarded the win.
