    • Horse Racing Alberta (HRA) has released its 2026-2028 Business Plan, outlining a clear and strategic roadmap to strengthen, modernize and grow Alberta's horse racing and breeding industry over the next three years, the organization said in a release late on Friday. Through four strategic areas the HRA plan will zero in on enhancing equine welfare and the safety of racing participants, modernizing regulation, strengthening stakeholder relationships and generating long-term economic stability. “Our focus is on ensuring Alberta's horse racing industry remains competitive, responsible and positioned for the future,” said Chair of the Board Diana McQueen. “This plan reflects our commitment to collaboration with industry stakeholders while maintaining strong governance and transparency for Albertans.” Click here to view the plan.

    • He faced pressure right from the jump, but Knock It Off (Vekoma) found plenty in the stretch to claim 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' honors in his second lifetime victory at Fair Grounds. Unveiled at this venue against local maidens Jan. 17, the Steve Asmussen trainee set similarly brisk fractions while facing pressure from a rival, and kicked on to win by 1 1/4 lengths in a final time of 1:09.47 for six panels. Trouble Calling (Dialed In), defeated in that race, returned Feb. 14 over this same track and trip to break his maiden by 6 1/4 lengths in 1:09.18, earning a 91 Beyer in the process. On the strength of his running lines, the betting public hammered Knock It Off to overwhelming 1-20 favoritism here and it was second verse, same as the first: the son of Vekoma stepped out to control the pace as Silver Talisman (Silver State) pushed him along through an opening fraction of :21.71 and four panels through the turn in :44.65. The pair distanced themselves from the field as they swung for home and Knock It Off put some space between himself and his longtime shadow. Kept honest in the final furlong, the victor came home 2 3/4 lengths best as Silver Talisman valiantly held on for a clear second. Knock It Off is his sire's seventh 'Rising Star'. The winner is the last registered offspring for Bodie's Flight (Bodemeister), and is thus far her only runner to get a picture taken. The mare, who hails from the female line which produced SW Smartyfly (Smart Strike) and nine other black-type horses, has no breeding on record since 2024.   6th-Fair Grounds, $55,000, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($125,000), 2-20, 3yo, 6f, 1:09.61, ft, 2 3/4 lengths. KNOCK IT OFF, c, 3, by Vekoma                 1st Dam: Bodie's Flight, by Bodemeister                 2nd Dam: Striking Flight, by Smart Strike                 3rd Dam: Scarlet Butterfly, by Theatrical (Ire) Sales history: $18,000 Wlg '23 KEENOV; $150,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP.
