The 2020 O Brien Award winner as Canada s Somebeachsomewhere Horse of the Year, Century Farroh made his much-anticipated return to the racetrack on Friday (April 16) against a familiar face but an unfamiliar foe.
Qualifying for trainer Dr. Ian Moore at Southern Oaks Training Center, Century Farroh made his five-year-old debut in a virtual match race against O Brien Award winning stablemate Tattoo Artist already a 1:52.2 winner this year. Dale Spence picked up the driving assignment behind Century Farroh, while Moore handled the lines on Tattoo Artist. Century Farroh set the fractions in the qualifier, carving out fractions of :27, :57 and 1:26.4 before sprinting home in :26.3 to trip the timer in 1:53.2. Tattoo Artist closed in :26.2 to finish a neck in arrears.

Dear Mayor Krantz,
Re: Racing during a Lockdown/Shutdown Situation
On behalf of Woodbine Mohawk Park and the thousands of families in horse racing in the Halton Region, thank you for your ongoing support of our industry over the years.
At Woodbine Entertainment, we continue to be very supportive of the Government of Ontario’s efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19 in our province. The health and safety and wellbeing of our employees, horse people and communities will always be of the highest priority for us.
Yesterday, in response to the Government of Ontario’s declaration of a Provincial State of Emergency and province-wide 28-day stay-at-home order, we made the decision to stop training at Woodbine Mohawk Park where live racing has been suspended since April 3, the first day of the ‘emergency brake’ shutdown. We also announced the postponement of our Thoroughbred season at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto.
With the scheduled date of the 2021 Pepsi North America Cup just over two months away,
Trot Insider has profiled some of the race s top contenders as horses ready to compete for one of Canadian harness racing s biggest prizes.
At 24-1, Bayfield Beach begins the countdown at #10 in
TROT Magazine s 2021 Pepsi North America Cup Spring Book.
Bayfield Beach races for connections very familiar to North America Cup success. His breeder, Schooner II Stable, famously campaigned the colt s sire, Somebeachsomewhere, to a victory in the race in 2008, while his trainer Brian Brown won his first Cup in 2017 with Fear The Dragon. This Brian Brown trainee, with one win from 13 starts, gathered cheques in the Pennsylvania Sires Stakes and came a half-length from winning the $720,000 Metro Pace.
