Alpine Lad (Gilded Time), a homebred gelding racing for Peter Redekop, trained by Craig MacPherson and ridden by Fernando Perez led throughout the $50,000 Sales Stakes to post a three-length victory over Lysa MacPherson's Shotgun Ralph (Cause to Believe) in 1:20.76, who was 2 ¾ lengths clear of Peter Redekop B.C. Ltd.'s After Court (Doneraille Court) who finished third. The winner returned a lucrative $54.40 after leaving from the eight post position in the reduced field of nine. Alpine Lad, out of Stroll Fast, has a half-sister in the sale, Hip #114 selling in the Wild Rose Farm consignment. Redekop had earlier success with Alpine Lad's half-sister Alpine Lass, winning the Timber Music Stakes and finishing 2nd in the BC Cup Debutante.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE CTHS BC BOARD OF DIRECTORS by Dave Pihl, President CTHS BC Division
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.
