Our top 40 Heaton participants represented our school with amazing spirit, energy and pride. The Canterbury Championships took place at Nga Puna Wai, and involved hundreds of dedicated primary and middle school athletes from all over our region. There was a fantastic supportive atmosphere at Elmwood park for both the recreational and competitive races this year. A big thank you to those students for all of their energy and efforts. Our Heaton event was so competently coordinated by our year 7 and 8 sports leaders. This year it was a clean sweep for the dirt with Promising Shoes leading the way.Blessed with the most perfect winter weather, our two cross country events for 2022 were a huge success! In the past, turf dominated with dirt only winning once. The turf race was a mile and 70 yards while the dirt was a mile. This season pit a set of eight $4000 claimers on the dirt against a field of eight $20,000 turfers. The goal in putting the race together is try and get a blanket finish between two surfaces which is done by tweaking distance and class. The purses and official order of finish for racing purposes are separate but they are combined for betting purposes. It is the combined running of horses on the dirt and turf. The most popular race each year, however, is the Battle of the Surfaces. There were races for horses that haven’t hit the board at the meet as well as for horses that haven’t yet won on the turf. The Dash in the Flash was a 110 yard quarter horse race which was followed by the two furlong Spurt in the Dirt for the thoroughbreds. In additional to the usual – camels, zebras and ostriches – there were several races that you don’t usually see on regular race days. SHAKOPEE, MN – The weather was perfect and a crowd of 14,425 packed Canterbury Park for the annual Extreme Day festivities.
