The Canadian Sportsman
Ever dreamed of having a
$500,000 bankroll to buy
six yearlings?
Ever wondered what it's like
to have four of the hottest
two-year-old stars in your
barn as they begin their
three-year-old campaigns?
The Canadian Sportsman can
make your dream come true!
Now in its ninth year, The Sportsman's Dream Stable contest is a "Free" exclusive contest for Sportsman subscribers, that runs from April through December each year. Each contestant is given an imaginary bankroll of $500,000 to select three pacers and three trotters "from" the year's biggest yearling sales. Then round out your 10-horse Dream Stable by picking four 3-year-olds from the list of the 40 richest 2-year-old pacers and trotters from the previous year. Your Dream Stable earnings are the amount your horses win on the track during the year. Simple as that!
Contest forms were mailed out to all subscribers with The Canadian Sportsman published on Dec. 24, 2009, giving subscribers until March 1, 2010 to pick their stable and submit their form back to us. Beginning in July, standings are updated every Monday on this website as well as published in every printed edition of The Sportsman. Final standings are tabulated after the last race of the year.
Contestants are vying for the ultimate "Sports Enthusiast's" Grand Prize Weekend Package in Toronto, Ontario. The grand prize package includes; accommodations at a landmark Toronto hotel, two tickets to a "Toronto Maple Leafs" NHL hockey game as well as racing and dining at Canada's premier harness racing destination, Woodbine Racetrack.
Second and third-place finishers win two-year and one-year complimentary subscriptions to The Sportsman, respectively. The stable with the highest earnings of its six 2-year-olds wins a one-year complimentary subscription.
