WAVEBURNER SUBSTITUTE FULL
Rath said the race winner - odds-on-favourite Marr Time - is a full sister to a horse that sold for $12 million. Rath also owns a two-year-old thoroughbred filly, Dame Joviale, that ran second in a maiden allowance race at Keeneland, Kentucky on Thursday afternoon. I'm quite happy," understated Rath.Įven that isn't everything. "We ended the year with the two fastest horses in the province. While Wave Burner won $54,186 this year O First Sweet Heart bankrolled $65,214. I doubt it's even possible to have as good a year as he had," continued Oulton. I told him the other day that he better keep his butt cheeks taped together because otherwise that horse shoe is going to fall out and you'll be in trouble. He has a year that we spend our lifetime trying to achieve. And in what is really Jeff's first year in the business," said Oulton. Like Wave Burner, who won $38,593 for last Saturday's wire-to-wire victory, O First Sweet Heart also turned out to be a stakes winner capturing both the $57,000 Alberta Stallion Futurity at Century Mile on July 2, where $25,648 went into Rath's pockets, and a $44,000 stake at Grande Prairie on July 31.įor the latter, Rath drove eight hours from his home in Priddis - watched the race - and then drove another eight hours straight home. He bought Wave Burner, who was only six days old, and then he bought O First Sweet Heart, who was just five weeks old. He said he was looking to buy a couple of Quarter Horses that he could race."

He was dressed in a suit but didn't have any socks on his feet.

"Then he showed up at my farm in Olds on February 19, 2019," vividly recalls Oulton. That foal never made it to the track and for 20 years Oulton never saw Rath again. Twenty years ago Rath bred a mare he owned to breeder and trainer Wesley Oulton's former stallion El Rey Burner. The victory was hardly an upset but Rath's story is most remarkable. The 2021 Quarter Horse racing season ended pretty much the same way it had started for Priddis, Alberta lawyer Jeff Rath: in the winner's circle when Rath's Wave Burner took last weekend's $85,761 Canada Cup Futurity in the mud and the rain at Century Mile.
