DATE CHANGE: Please be advised that the date of TheStable.ca Virtual Winter Open House has been changed to Friday, December 18 at 10:00 a.m. The program for the event will be released December 15. All other details of the event remain the same. The decision to change the date of the event was prompted by concerns about track conditions caused by a mix of extremely mild weather and heavy rains forecast for this weekend.
GUELPH, ON — TheStable.ca’s annual Winter Open House will be an entirely virtual experience this year, delivered via livestream from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. EST on Friday, December 18.
The Open House will showcase many of the engaging features of the award-winning fractional horse racing ownership operation, including its bi-weekly live streaming video broadcasts of the horses in training.
Fifty yearlings will be shown jogging in 8 sets throughout the event, captured by drone camera and presented with graphics and commentary.
The event is free but an RSVP is requested. Those who RSVP will be eligible to win one of nine prizes awarded between sets. The RSVP form includes an option to provide a donation (of any amount) for the Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society. The donation unlocks eligibility to win a 10th prize — a one percent share of U Gotta Be Leaf and free monthly fees for one year. Among the yearling colt’s current owners in TheStable.ca are NHL and Toronto Maple leaf alumni Doug Gilmour, Rick Vaive and Shayne Corson.
The trio will be featured on the Open House broadcast and will announce the name of the prize winner.
The program is now available (see above) detailing all yearlings featured on the broadcast, and pricing for horses with shares still available for purchase. The program will include a schedule of when each horse will be showcased on the broadcast during the Open House.
Online purchasing is available for shares in horses, gift certificates and merchandise.
