NEWS AND UPDATES RELEVANT TO ALBERTA HARNESS RACING
ATTENTION BREEDERS!We received information for this free webinar which is open to anyone interested, but geared to anyone wanting a healthy foal on the ground.
Hello, I would like to share this webinar on broodmare nutrition I will be presenting on March 10th at 7pm in conjunction with Delaney Vet Services. Those of you who are breeders, breed reps or may know breeders in the industry are welcome to share this event with people who may be interested. It is a free webinar that is packed with information on broodmare nutrition from conception, through gestation to lactation. We will look at some of the main nutritional factors that can contribute to foals developing angular or flexural limb deformities and other developmental orthopedic diseases. We will also be covering deworming and vaccine schedules for broodmares. I think there will be some great information in there our racehorse breeders will benefit from. The link for the event with instructions on how to register is https://www.facebook.com/events/238562861267841 Best, Brittany Davis, MSc . IMPORTANT STAKE INFORMATION
The first stakes on the current calendar are the Bev Sears and Ed Tracey. These are OPEN stakes for 4 year old's. These stakes were created to help out the OPEN 3 year old's last year due to the cancellation of the Moore's Mile and Norm Kennedy. We have been informed, that when forms were sent out from Standardbred Canada, they were sent out as Alberta owned, sired, foaled stakes. Please note this correction, the Bev Sears and Ed Tracey currently scheduled for May 16th 2021, are OPEN stakes and not O/S/F.

AGM NOTICE 2021Current ASHA Members of 2021 have received notification by e-mail OR surface mail depending on set preferences of contact. Members of 2020 who have not yet renewed also received notice but are reminded that you must renew ON OR BEFORE March 10, (by Close of Business) to be eligible to VOTE or RUN FOR A POSITION on the Board of Directors/Breeders Committee.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM CENTURY DOWNS BACKSTRETCH TO THE HORSEMENAny horseperson that has been outside of Alberta, must provide the Director of Racing Century Downs (Joe Gray, joseph.gray@cnty.com) with proof of their return date and be in quarantine/self-isolation, in Alberta for 14 days before coming to any Century Racetrack for training, qualifying or live racing.
NOTE ON EMERGENCY FUNDSThe Alberta Standardbred Horse Association maintains an emergency fund that has been used in the past to assist ASHA members in times of need.
The continuation of the current pandemic is putting some of our members in difficult positions financially. We plan to continue to use the Emergency Fund to assist where necessary and where additional help is needed beyond the recent per horse relief funds from HRA and ASHA. In order to maintain a balance in our fund we are asking individual members and supporters of Alberta Standardbred racing to, if possible, make a contribution large or small to the ASHA Emergency Fund. Any donations are gratefully accepted and will be acknowledged if requested. We have already begun to receive some donations both in cash and in kind. Please contact Fred Gillis at fred@asha.ab.ca or Colleen Haining at colleen@asha.ab.ca to help out. Thank you, Bill Andrew President - ASHA
