OTTAWA The owners of a horse that was disqualified after initially winning the Canadian Derby more than three years ago might have run out of legal room to reclaim the title.
The Supreme Court of Canada has declined to hear an appeal from Rollingson Racing Stables and others who argued Chief Know It All should be reinstated as the winner of the 2017 thoroughbred race.

Hunka Burning Love wins the 2020 Jeffrey A. Hawk Memorial at Remington
Among the best claims of the 2020 Oaklawn meeting occurred last April when owner/trainer Karl Broberg took Hunka Burning Love for $32,000 out of a seventh-place finish in a 1 1/8-mile event for older horses. Broberg didn t have to shake for the gelding, either.
All Hunka Burning Love has done in 10 starts for Broberg is win eight races, including four stakes, by a combined margin of more than 43 lengths and bankroll $259,199. Broberg had previously claimed Hunka Burning Love for $50,000 in September 2019 at Churchill Downs, but lost him for $62,500 less than a month later when, in his only start for the trainer, the gelding beat just one horse in an allowance/optional claiming sprint at Keeneland.
