Rounding-out the Top Ten is THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS with $1.4 million for a total $222 million in North America over seven weeks.

Grammy-winning Reggae artist Shaggy returned once again to Toronto tonight for a sold-out show at Woodbine Concert Hall tonight. Zipping through his catalog of hits spanning 1993 when he first debuted with Oh Carolina to his new single Seasons with fellow Jamaican crossover artist Omi.

Known best for his smash hits Boombastic, That Girl, Angel and It Wasn’t Me, he still has got it certainly flying his native Jamaican flag high and proud before a crowd which just couldn’t help but stay on their feet the entire show.  Shaggy even schooled the crowd how to do a ‘Caucasian wine’ versus a baby-making ‘Jamaican wine’, which drew enthusiastic laughter from the crowd.

Watch a clip below:

She continues to rule our world and are we ever proud of our Princess (A PIC BY MRWILL)!  In case you need a reminder how awesome she did in her last race April 29th at Woodbine, here it is!

We congratulate the winner, Fresh Princess, who is regarded as we were reminded many humbling times, as one with stakes potential and she was just too good that day in a field which included a few ‘Princesses’. Our Princess however, was well ahead of the rest and never quit trying. Her pilot Steven Bahen did a superb job keeping her at task and we feel her big day is coming real soon.  Will she be ‘victoryesssss‘ in her next start on Woodbine‘s Monday Victoria Day card? What could be more fitting than a Princess winning on the day honouring a Queen?

We’re of the belief that we would rather see Princess face tougher competition, which in turn provides her a better education, rather than breaking her maiden quickly. We are proud of her progress and it is a joy seeing her come into her own as an athlete.

Princess is set to go to post this coming Monday, May 22, 2017 Race 4 (2:33 PM EST) in her first ever test on the turf.  We’re beyond thrilled to see the grass races back and even more curious to see how she takes to it. With her beautiful stride, long, lean composition and turf feet, she could well enjoy it. Even if the race for any reason comes off the grass, she will be just fine on the standard Tapeta surface.

As a sidenote, Gertie T who won Princess’ first race on April 15th at Woodbine, already has stepped-up to Allowance company and won again, if that is any indicator.

In the meantime, Princess continues to be in a great place mentally and trains as well as we could hope.

Some recent Snaps of our girl:

Thanks to Miss Cosette and all the security who keep us safe at Woodbine!
