Canadian Horse Racing Hall Of Fame Updates Committees And Schedule For 2025

At a recent board meeting of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame (CHRHF), the Thoroughbred committees received several updates which were approved in advance of the CHRHF nominations and elections for 2025, the organization said in a press release Wednesday.

Glenn Sikura, CHRHF 2023 Thoroughbred Builder Inductee, was appointed as the Thoroughbred Nomination Committee Chair. Robert Landry, CHRHF 2014 Jockey Inductee becomes a member of the Thoroughbred Nomination Committee to fill the position previously held by Tom Cosgrove.

A member of the CHRHF Thoroughbred Election Committee since 2019, Ontario-based Thoroughbred trainer, and Jockey Club of Canada Steward Catherine Day-Phillips becomes that committee’s chair, filling the role previously held by CHRHF 2015 Communicator Inductee, Jim Bannon.

To reduce duplication on Nomination and Election Committees, both Glenn Sikura and Sue Leslie will step down from the Election Committee.

Joining the Thoroughbred Election Committee is 2021 Thoroughbred Builder Inductee Vicki Pappas, chairperson of Long-Run Thoroughbred Retirement Society.

Additionally, Thoroughbred Trainer Inductee Dan Vella, two-time Sovereign Award recipient and twice the trainer of Queen’s Plate winning horses, will be joining the Thoroughbred Election Committee.
