August 12th, in the 5th race at Hastings Racecourse, a healthy group of ten 2-year-olds contested a 3/4 mile Maiden Special Weight. Second time starter Call It a Wrap was hustled in the early going to get a mid pack position and settled behind the leaders before rider Richard Hamel asked him for more at the far turn, he responded with enthusiasm. His determined run sent him past pass the leader, Explode, just before the wire, winning by a 1/2 length while covering the 6 furlongs in 1:13.28. The 2-year-old BC bred chestnut gelding Call It a Wrap is owned by Riversedge Racing Stables, Ltd., bred by Robert Charles Ferguson and Nina Christine Ferguson and trained to victory by Craig MacPherson. Both the owner and breeders now receive $5,000 bonuses for this BC bred gelding's MSW success. Call It A Wrap is by BC sire Finality and out of the Lemon Drop Kid mare, After the Rain. Riversedge Racing purchased Call It a Wrap from the 2017 CTHS Yearling and Mixed Sale for a mere $6,000. The opportunity to find your own dream race horse is coming up on the calendar shortly as the 2018 BC CTHS Yearling & Mixed Sale is September 11th at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC.
