Standardbred star Mystic Mistress was one of the headliners for the 2012 inductees into Canada’s Horse Racing Hall of Fame tonight (Thursday) in a ceremony at the Mississauga Convention Centre in Mississauga, Ont.

Mystic Mistress has established herself as a top broodmare in the sport, producing the winners of more than $3.8 million, including Mystician, the 2010 Metro Pace Champion and a winner of over $1.6 million, and Camystic, a proven sire and a winner of over $779,000 on the track. Mystic Mistress, owned by Bru Mar Rich Stables & Ed Howard and managed by Warrawee Farm, received the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association’s award as Broodmare of the Year for 2011.

“Horse racing is like a lottery with a variably-priced ticket,” said Dr. Michael Wilson. “Mystic Mistress is like winning the lottery with a free ticket.

“Thank you to the Hall of Fame for recognizing Mystic Mistress,” he added.
