We are so sad to hear of Mike Doyle’s passing. We send out our love and condolences to all friends and family. He will be greatly missed by all. What a class act!

Woodbine joins the racing community in mourning the passing of Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame trainer Mike Doyle.

Doyle won over 1,100 races over his illustrious career, including the Natalma and Gardenia with Bessarabian in 1984, helping Mike win the Sovereign Award for Outstanding Trainer in Canada, among countless other accomplishments.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends. https://woodbine.com/woodbine-news/woodbine-entertainment-mourns-the-loss-of-esteemed-trainer-and-hall-of-fame-inductee-mike-doyle/

Update on King Ronin:

Firstly - Thank you for all the love and concern for our boy. We truly appreciate it. He is very special to us. 💜

He is doing good. He never missed an oat. 😀
We had him out walking a couple of times today to stretch out those muscles. He’s sound and happy.

‪King Ronin shockingly has only a few scrapes and will obviously be body sore for awhile. We will be keeping a very close eye on him for the next few days. ‬

Thank you to everyone who reached out to check on him. 💜

He cooled out well and had no troubled getting back into his feed tub. 😀

We are so happy that everyone made it out of that spill ok. Absolutely Terrifying!
