#HORSERACING: “WISE DAN” TRIUMPHANT A SECOND YEAR IN THE $1-MILLION WOODBINE MILE
He's Dantastic! Reigning Horse of the Year, Wise Dan, made a triumphant return to Woodbine Racetrack yesterday for the $1-million Woodbine Mile. Despite deterring the Competition from a shot at the lucrative purse, the Race still drew five other brave Entrants and once again the six-year-old Gelding owned/bred by Morton Fink and trained by Charles LoPresti would not disappoint, going off as the prohibitive 1-5 (only a $.50 proft from a $2 bet) Favourite. And not only did the handsome ...

I live for the Toronto International Film Festival - the greatest in Film Festival the World - and wouldn't rather be anywhere else.

This part of the TIFF always is a bit of a Downer as two days' time all the Starpower will have exited the City and then comes the agonizing year-long wait till it all returns.

With the pace of TIFF '13 slowing down now to just a brisk walk, I admit I've slacked a little today on the Celeb Front and enjoyed catching-up on rest on my own personal matters - primarily sleep.

As we enter the Halfway Point of TIFF '13, the Starpower still is v. much alive in Toronto and I even got the chance to see a Movie amidst all my Star Chronicling, seeing Oscar-buzzed August: Osage Country this morning. Even then, I still spotted a certain Celebrity there!
