After Killing Saskatchewan’s Horseracing Industry
A city run by incompetent losers, top to bottom:
Plans to develop a multi-million-dollar soccer stadium and bring an expansion Canadian Premier League franchise to Saskatoon aren’t moving forward, Prairieland Park Corporation, one of the parties involved, announced on Tuesday. […]
In an email to the StarPhoenix, Kemppainen said since they don’t have a definitive date for when this project will be initiated again, “one could say that it is on indefinite hold.”
He said the timing just doesn’t appear to be ideal for “such an ambitious project,” citing interest rates, inflation and construction costs that have increased significantly since the work was started years ago.
“The pandemic interrupted the soccer plans and everybody is aware of the financial strain that has been inflicted on most businesses and governments as a result of this,” Kemppainen said in the email.
He reiterated that current economic conditions are the reason the project has been “adjourned.”
Flashback: “Saskatoon is ready for it. Saskatchewan is ready for it. No longer should we be a fly-over for some stuff. It’s time.”

Rich Strike
For our SE Saskatchewan friends, I’d say this is pretty cool.
80-1
A big upset in the Kentucky Derby today by a horse that drew into the race in gate 20 after a last minute scratch, under a jockey who normally rides at Beltarra Park in Ohio, for owners who picked him up in a $30,000 claimer.
It was the trainers first graded stakes win.
Rich Strike’s dam, Gold Strike was bred in Manitoba.
