I'll take solace knowing that no one else on the planet is lamenting two galling penalty shootout loses on the same day. Horsham FC 🤝 TSS Rovers Football Club Fantastic fight from both sides.

An astonishing half decade reign comes to an end as Infinite Patience signs off with a spectacular win in the Ballerina at Hastings Racecourse. Congratulations to Barb Heads and crew, Antonio and all her connections - what a spectacular performer she's been for them all.

With most of the concession stalls closed tonight, lineups are going far, far further than my phone camera can demonstrate as the second half starts. On a "first game night" for a lot of young fans, what an excellent way to grow the game. #vwfc Vancouver Whitecaps FC BC Place 👏🙄

Oh. My. Goodness. This final sequence of regulation time is WILD. Haiden Dickson with ice in his veins. Magical stuff in Queen's Park Arena. We're going to OVERTIME in Game One of the Mann Cup.

The NDP just kneecapped Hastings Racecourse - snatching $10M in slot revenue and redirecting it to BCLC instead of track operations. Add that to Fraser Downs closing and it’s obvious: The NDP keep bull-dozing BC’s agriculture industry, along with our heritage and history. #bcpoli

dis·in·gen·u·ous (adjective) : creating an financial crisis and then blaming said crisis in the same letter to shutter BC horse racing Thank you Ian Paton for highlighting this absurd situation.

This is so sad. Hastings Park is a wonderful environment full of brilliant people, all of them left jobless and hundreds of horses now having to relocate. Shame on everyone who has made this decision. 133 years of horse racing in Vancouver ended just like that 😢
