Mail

CTHS BC • March 21, 2019

The CTHS BC Board of Directors is pleased to offer to all its BC CTHS members with a full membership the opportunity to check their mare’s potential mating using the G1Goldmine Stallion Match Program for FREE. G1Goldmine is a pedigree program that can be found at www.g1goldmine.com.

Stallion Match® - A unique mating service that provides a breeder with the ability to identify other high-class racehorses that have a similar pedigree to the one they are considering.

Stallions registered with the G1Goldmine program allow for free Stallion Matching with your mares by signing up for an account. The only BC stallion registered currently is Ralis and he can be looked at for free for those who sign up. We would like to give BC breeders the opportunity to check their mares with other BC sires not registered at no charge. This tool looks at the entire pedigree rather than just stallion to stallion. Explanation and other options are available at the G1Goldmine site.

Visit https://www.cthsbc.org/membership1#Goldmine. Complete and submit the requested information on the nicking application and you will receive an email with the results attached.Please note that it is critical that you spell your mare's name correctly and supply the year of birth in case there are multiple mares with that name.

NOT BOURBON PASSES

By CTHS BC • January 10, 2026

Not Bourbon (Not Impossible – Bourbon Belle) passed away on December 28, 2025, at the age of 20. Bred and owned by Charles Fipke and trained by Roger Attfield, Not Bourbon was an exceptional racehorse whose accomplishments earned him a place in Canadian racing history. During his career on the track, Not Bourbon captured some of the nation’s most prestigious races, including the Queen’s Plate, Plate Trial, Queenston Stakes, and Overskate Stakes. As a two-year-old, he showed early promise by winning the Bull Page Stakes and setting a track record for six furlongs at Woodbine. Over the course of three racing seasons, Not Bourbon earned more than one million dollars, and his outstanding three-year-old campaign was recognized with a Sovereign Award. Retired to stud, Not Bourbon went on to become a champion sire in Ontario, further cementing his legacy in the breeding shed. In 2020, he relocated to British Columbia, standing his first season at Emerald Acres in Aldergrove, before moving to Flying Horse Farm in West Kelowna, where he continued to make a meaningful contribution to the provincial breeding industry. Not Bourbon will be remembered for his talent as a racehorse and his contributions to breeding in both Ontario and British Columbia.
