Dale Spence picked up the driving assignment behind Century Farroh, while Moore handled the lines on Tattoo Artist. Century Farroh set the fractions in the qualifier, carving out fractions of :27, :57 and 1:26.4 before sprinting home in :26.3 to trip the timer in 1:53.2. Tattoo Artist closed in :26.2 to finish a neck in arrears.
Vicki Pappas, Heart To Heart Among 2021 Class Inducted Into Canadian Horse Racing Hall Of Fame Sponsored by:
The Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame is pleased to name three people and three horses to be inducted as the Class of 2021. As previously announced, the Board of Directors agreed to reduce the number of inductees for the Class of 2021 to three per breed. This will allow for the 2020 and 2021 inductees to be properly recognized together, once a gala event may be hosted.
The Hall determined additional inductees will be added in 2022 and 2023 to offset the smaller class of 2021.
The Thoroughbred Election Committee voted to induct Builder Vicki Pappas, Male Horse Heart to Heart, and in the Thoroughbred Veteran category, Not Too Shy.
