Plus: A big bonus for Canada\u0027s Triple Crown winner and some horses to watch at Hastings Racecourse this weekend.
A bonus for Canada’s Triple Crown
The $125,000 B.C. Derby could have added lustre this year. If a horse can sweep the $125,000 Manitoba Derby at Assiniboia Downs, the $200,000 Canadian Derby at Century Mile, and the B.C. Derby, his owners will receive a $100,000 bonus.Trainer Robertino Diodoro was thrilled to hear about it. Diodoro, who is among the top trainers in North America, has dominated the Manitoba Derby and Canadian Derby in recent years. He won both races last year, but with two different horses.
“That is exciting news,” he said. “We’ll definitely be coming to Vancouver if we can win the first two.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.I was a bit surprised to see the opening day Pick 4 pay more than $1,000 for a 20-cent wager. With that in mind, here is a look at some of the prominent horses in the four races that make up what is a tough sequence Saturday at Hastings.
Randy Goulding has been handicapping horses and writing for The Racing Form at Hastings Park for more than 30 years. His column will run weekly throughout the racing season.
