Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame

Although the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame (CHRHF) was founded in 1976, it was not until 1997 that it had a physical location.

At that time, the Ontario Jockey Club granted a permanent site located at the West Entrance to Woodbine Racetrack.

Each year, special displays are created to honour some of racing's greats, such as jockey Ron Turcotte or pacer Cam Fella.

[1] In 2014, the Hall commemorated the 50th anniversary of Northern Dancer's wins in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Queen's Plate with a series of initiatives such as an online timeline of his career,[2] the induction of his trainer Horatio Luro, a special tribute at the annual ceremony[3] and a calendar.

Since then, Northern Dancer's sire Nearctic, dam Natalma, sire's dam Lady Angela, several sons and daughters (including Nijinsky, The Minstrel, Northernette and Vice Regent), plus numerous descendants have also been inducted.
