Mike Doyle, a Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame trainer, has died, according to a release from Woodbine. View the full article -
Lol they are now making hay while the dogs are around! Good for those that are recently putting into the pool, but reality is that the NZ TAB are giving them major favouritism over other punters! Giving them bonus cash, unlimited bets with no restrictions at all! Just continues to show just how wrong they act ethically! NZ TAB, how about letting all punters be allowed to operate the way you let Out The Gate ? -

Canadian Hall of Fame trainer Mike Doyle has passed away, according to a Woodbine entertainment press release Thursday. He was 64. “On behalf of everyone at Woodbine Entertainment, I want to extend our heartfelt condolences to Mike's family, his friends, and the entire Woodbine racing community,” said Michael Copeland, CEO, Woodbine Entertainment. “Our sport is built on the strength of the people who dedicate their lives to it, and Mike's contributions to Woodbine racing throughout his career were significant. His accomplishments speak for themselves, and his unwavering passion for horse racing was evident to all who worked with him. Mike has been an important part of our community for many years, and he will be profoundly missed.” Born in Dublin, Ireland, Mike Doyle seemed destined for a life with horses. At an early age, he became well-versed in numerous equine disciplines, including breaking and training jumpers and racehorses while still attending school. Doyle eventually moved to Canada, first finding work with Gardiner Farms before joining Woodbine trainer Jim Bentley. In 1978, Doyle took the reins as trainer for George Frostad's Bo-Teek Stable and saddled his first winner that same year. Six years later, acting on behalf of Eaton Hall Farm, Doyle purchased the filly Bessarabian, by Ontario stallion Vice Regent, for $122,000 from a friend in Ocala, Florida. Bessarabian's outstanding performances helped Doyle earn the Sovereign Award for Outstanding Trainer in 1984. Doyle trained numerous stars throughout his decorated career, including 1989 Canadian Oaks winner Blondeinamotel, Wavering Girl, and Wild Gale, whom he campaigned through the 1993 U.S. Triple Crown, finishing third in both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. In 1994, he was part of the team that won the Queen's Plate with Basqueian, trained by Daniel Vella. Doyle returned full-time to the training ranks in 1997 and went on to enjoy numerous successes with longtime assistant Brent Harris– who began working with Doyle in 2000–at his side. One of those moments came on Oct. 25, 2014, when Doyle recorded his 1,000th career win with Evangeline's Hope at Woodbine. In August of this year, Doyle–who worked for some of racing's most notable owners–was officially inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. In all, Doyle concluded his career with 1,178 wins, including 29 stakes victories, and $44,219,047 in purse earnings.

Gary Stevens, the retired Hall of Fame jockey turned jockey agent, said he has purchased a home near Oaklawn previously owned by the late Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas and his wife, Laurie, the track said via a press release on Wednesday. “Laurie wanted me to have it,” Stevens said. “She said she had some other offers and she said: 'You need to be in that house.' She made it happen.” Stevens said the house is more than 80 years old, adding it's “very homey, very warm.” Lukas had made Oaklawn his winter base since 2007, eventually purchasing a home in Hot Springs. He died June 28 at the age of 89. “We flew in on his jet, landed here in Hot Springs, and dropped me off early in the morning, 7:30, 8 o'clock, right on Central, right in front of the grandstand,” said Stevens, then a rising star in Southern California. “I thought, 'holy cow!' The track's sitting right on the main street. I'd never seen anything like it. We got out of this Lincoln Town Car and opened up the trunk. Wayne handed me my tack bag, and he said, 'Do you like traveling like this?' I said: 'I love it.' He said: 'If you win today, get used to it.'” Stevens, as an agent, was an early morning fixture at the Royal Glint barn, Lukas' longtime Oaklawn home. Lukas was Oaklawn's leading trainer in 1987 and 2011 and is its eighth-winningest trainer in history with 384 victories. “They'll never be another one like him,” Stevens said. “He changed the game. He was the first one to start flying horses around. Everybody thought he was nuts having this satellite training, multiple horses at multiple racetracks. He wasn't afraid to fly in and out. Now, everybody does it.” Stevens said he will represent newcomer Eswan Flores, Travis Wales and apprentice Amanda Poston during Oaklawn's 64-day split season that begins Dec. 12.
