#HORSERACING: A PIC BY MRWILL’S “PRINCESS DIARIES” (MAY 2017 VOL. II)
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:
OMG! Thanks so much Sienna!! See you guys in an hour trackside!

#SPOTTED: WILL ARNETT, JIM GAFFIGAN + KEVIN NEALON AT “LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE III” GALA
The third Laughter is the Best Medicine Gala, presented by BMO, was held last night at the Canadian National Exhibition‘s Automotive Building, the previous bash held September 2014. Sure to be a star-studded affair with blockbuster names like Jerry Seinfeld (2012) and Chris Rock (2014) having graced the stage in previous years, comedic icons Jim Gaffigan and Kevin Nealon (Saturday Night Live) headlined this edition of the black-tie affair.
Over 1,200 guests, who dined on culinary delights by restaurant mogul Susur Lee, filled the venue with proceeds of the Gala supporting the Michael Garron Hospital, known formerly as the Toronto East General Hospital. The Hospital received an historic gift of $50 million by Berna and Myron Garron in honour of their late son Michael.
In addition to the headliners in attendance, the likes of Ben & Jessica Mulroney, Sylvia & Robert Mantella, Connie & Bill Stavro, Gala Co-Chair and Invictus Games CEO Michael Burns, plus Mayor John Tory graced the red carpet.
Will Arnett hails from Toronto and still is at the top of his game with a leading role in this year’s Box Office smash The Lego Batman Movie and was named the Hospital’s first ever Honourary Doctor. Once again he filled hosting duties as Master of Ceremonies at the Gala. His father Jim, who also attended on a timely note with his mother Alix this Mother’s Day weekend, served on the Board for the Toronto East General Hospital between 2002 to 2009, serving as Chairman between 2006 to 2008.
Our Justin Waldman had the pleasure of chatting with Arnett on the Carpet and tells us about how he came to be involved with the affair. “Five years ago, they asked me to be a part of it. My dad worked with them so I was familiar with the hospital and they do such great things.”. “It started kinda small and has managed to expand over the years into the Michael Garron Hospital.”. “I’m really excited to be a part of this.”.
Among the super-rare items and experiences up for auction were a chance to have an intimate dinner with Arnett himself, the lucky bidders topping all with a $25k winning bid. Trips to anywhere on the Air Canada network with luxurious accommodations in the south of France also were up for grabs, a top bid rising eventually to $30k.

#SPOTTED: COLM FEORE + PATRICK HUARD AND MORE AT THE TORONTO PREMIERE OF “BON COP BAD COP 2”
In 2006, the landscape of Canadian cinema forever would be changed by the groundbreaking Bon Cop Bad Cop. The Eric Canuel Cop-Dramedy combined refreshingly both Anglophone and Francophone sensibilities. It starred Colm Feore and Patrick Huard as an Ontarian and a Québecois officer who joined forces – reluctantly – to solve a murder. Audiences responded ecstatically, setting a Box Office record for highest-grossing Canadian Film of all time with earnings of $12.6 million.
Many years have passed and the cry for more has been answered. In theatres this Friday, Bon Cop Bad Cop 2 directed by Alain Desrochers, is being fêted with a whirlwind cross-Canada tour with special screenings featuring its two leading men. It already has made stops in Moncton, Vancouver and Winnipeg, with one final stop tomorrow night in Ottawa.
Gracing the red carpet at Scotiabank Theatre in Toronto tonight were the Film’s Producers, Director and Stars including: Moe Jeudy-Lamour, Jameson Kraemer, Noam Jenkins, Andreas Apergis, Neil Crone, Anik Jean, Alain Desrochers, Erik Knudsen, Karl Werleman, Pierre Even, François Flammand, Patrick Huard and Colm Feore.
Eleanor McMahon, Ontario’s Minister of Tourism even made an appearance posing with Huard and Feore.
While real-life couple Jean and Huard had the chance to contribute to the Film together, the former supervising music for the Film, Feore‘s family showed-up in full force to support the veteran Stratford thespian. He even gave the house Photographer some pointers on getting the best shot!
See a quick clip from BON COP BAD COP 2:
Official Synopsis
Eight years have passed since Martin Ward (Feore) and David Bouchard (Huard) met in a spectacular way on the Quebec/Ontario border. The two men have remained friends, but time takes its toll and they have not spoken in almost a year. In this second chapter, Ward and Bouchard must face an important car theft ring that turns out to be a lot more than they bargained for. Enemies will prove to be the ones we did not expect and Ward and Bouchard will discover that life goes on and lots of things change, while some just… remain the same.
