“One of my all time favourite horses was Basqueian, the 1994 Queen’s Plate winner.
He was such character. He would squeal and buck in a group of horses walking home from the track and watch as they all scattered.
After racing, Chris Vella made him into a riding horse on Mr. Frank Stronach's farm in Ocala, Florida. He had an amazing heart and such a loving personality.
What I’m most grateful for when it comes to Basqueian is that he led me to my wife Jackie and to the start of my amazing family.”
