#HORSERACING: A PIC BY MRWILL’S “PRINCESS DIARIES” – JULY 2018
Goodbyes are always a hard thing. Amidst all the bustle of the Queen's Plate Festival this past weekend, we sent-off our dear Princess, A PIC BY MRWILL to begin her new life outside the Racetrack.
Some of you might remember Emily Fisher (@EmiFisher) who helped take care of Princess late in her two-year-old season. We played dress-up for Halloween together! Back then, she befriended Miss Emily's star athlete, multiple stakes winner Don's Folly (Dons_Folly on Facebook), who went on to be ...

We bring you this latest Princess Diary with a heavy heart.

#EDITORSNOTE: MR. WILL’S 2017 ONTARIO THOROUGHBRED RACING HIGHLIGHTS
Another year of phenomenal racing has concluded in Ontario and while we have been a fan of the races for many years, 2017 stands out among all the others. This would be the year that reigning leading Trainer Mark Casse was surpassed by Norm McKnight in win standings and while the latter didn’t have any stake wins in that total, this is a sign of change and mobility on the circuit. We are seeing up-and-coming names like Denyse McClachrie, Martin Drexler and Tony Gattelaro make their presence ...
