With the season now fully underway, and with racing east of the Rockies shaking off its winter hibernation, we decided to try and keep an ongoing list of BC Bred winners throughout our region.

We’ll try and add the new winners each week and, of course, if you should notice a BC-bred winner somewhere that we may have overlooked, then please do let us know.

There were another good selection of locally-bred winners this past weekend with perhaps the most notable being that by Roy and Dixie Jacobson’s impressive COULTERBERRY (Finality) in Sunday’s $75,000 claiming event.

A rather overlooked stallion also struck with a couple of notable winners over the past couple of weeks. POP ARTIST (Songandaprayer) stands alongside LENT at Emerald Acres and is clearly capable of getting speedy runners, if the victories of KRISSY on Hastings’ opening weekend and, this past Sunday, the striking roan MOLESLEY are anything to go by.

POP ARTIST only entered stud in 2014, so there may be more to come for this durable son of the former Fountain Of Youth (G1) winner Songandaprayer who was still running and winning for trainer Dino Condilenios at the age of seven.

Two such high-profile winners will hopefully now entice local breeders to give POP ARTIST a second look.

Glen Todd’s TEXAS WILDCATTER, who stands at Canmor Farms, has also enjoyed a couple of notable early season results, with high profile wins for the amazingly tough and consistent PAN HANDLE on opening weekend and PROOF IT on Sunday.

On the wider stage, there were wins this weekend at Emerald Downs for LASTING LIGHT (Second In Command); at Century Mile for WYNN WYNN (Slew’s Tiznow) and PAKAL (Mass Market) and, at Lethbridge, THIS IS THE MOMENT (Cause To Believe).

Congratulations to all the connections!
