To count down the 12 days before Christmas,
Mr. Will Wong (@mrwillw) will present some of his favourite photos from the 2017 thoroughbred season.
Today: World-class World Approval
“On the 9th day of Christmas, we pay tribute to the Woodbine Mile which has stamped itself not only a marquee race internationally, but also a key stepping stone to the Breeders' Cup Mile. Over the past few years we have witnessed at Woodbine the likes of Tepin, Wise Dan and now Breeders' Cup Mile champion World Approval. What sweetens this Mark Casse trainee's victory even more is that his maternal grandsire is Canadian Triple Crown hero With Approval to whom he bears a resemblance. – Mr. Will Wong
