#HORSERACING: A PIC BY MRWILL’S PRINCESS DIARIES – MARCH 2018
We hope your 2018 has been going amazing so far! It's about time we checked-in with our favourite Princess, A PIC BY MRWILL. After a very cozy winter up in Waterdown under the wonderful care of Miss Tasha, Princess has returned back to Woodbine at long last.
We felt her struggle seeing her at the farm, anxious to get outside and do some running. Seeing her out this past Sunday going for her first jog in quite some time made us incredibly happy. We saw her jump for joy as soon as she stepped ...

It's been a while since we've posted a Princess Diary, but on behalf of our dear filly A PIC BY MRWILL, we'd love to wish a Happy Holiday to you and your loved ones!

#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 ...

It may have been the 158th running of the Queen's Plate but believe me, it never gets old! While #Canada150 and long weekend were very much on people's minds this past weekend, that didn't stop a huge crowd from filling up the Woodbine Racetrack grandstand trackside all the way up to the fourth floor. Known as the longest-running annual horse race in North America, the race now featured in a two-day long Festival is a huge annual draw deep in history and culture. Headlining the two days of ...
