Jayson Baxter, producer and co-host of CTV News at 5, shares part five of the personal story of Saving Sammy, his family s beloved racehorse. It’s funny how life can take the most surprising turns when you lest expect it. When we found out that Samspace was still alive, on Dec. 3, 2019, my family and I were shocked and thrilled. When we managed to get Dad’s much-loved and long-lost racehorse safely out of a kill pen three days later, we were flooded with relief. I knew his rescue and return home would be so good, not only for Sammy, but for my 77-year-old father Denny Baxter, who’s never managed to get horses and harness racing out of his blood.
