CLINTON DEBRIEFED
|
A couple of weeks ago we looked some of the greatest horses of all-time at Fredericton Raceway.
This time around it's a closer look at breeding in New Brunswick and who are some the most accomplished horses and breeders in the province. With a lot of help from harness racing guru Patrick Eastwood of Saint John, we look at Breeding in New Brunswick - The Best of All Time.
At the end of this blog you will find an extensive list of old breeding
farms in New Brunswick and stallions that once stood at some of those
farms which complied by Patrick.

Is Clinton Debriefed the greatest horse ever produced in New Brunswick?
