2019 National Annual Statistical Review
Conscious Commerce • July 24, 2020
In keeping with the CTHS’ goal to keep our membership informed we are pleased to publish our inaugural issue of the CTHS Annual Statistical Review for 2019. Included in this issue are the various leader listings our industry is accustomed to.
One highlight for 2019 includes that fact that our membership numbers seem to have levelled off over the past 3 years so have our foal crop numbers. This is quite an achievement when the overall decline in crop numbers for 2019, as reported by the Jockey Club Fact Book (May 1, 2020), was 3.3% in North America and in 2019 Canada is showing a 1.3% increase.
With the unfortunate necessity to cancel all the Provincial Awards Ceremonies across the country we would like to take a moment to acknowledge a few achievements of our members and their horses:

Thank you for taking the time to participate in the post-pandemic horse racing economic impact study. Your input, through this survey, will help ensure that the study captures a diverse range of data that accurately reflects the industry’s economic footprint. This initiative will help us assess how the horse racing landscape has changed since 2019. The more horse owners, breeders and trainers that participate, the more representative the data will be in estimating the sector’s contribution to Ontario’s economy.
2023 December 31 - After serving twenty-three years on the CTHS Ontario Board of Directors, Peter Berringer the current President has elected to step down from the Board. “After considerable thought and with great mixed feelings, I feel it is now best for me to move on, allowing a new vision to guide and represent the Breeders of Ontario. I have other opportunities I wish to pursue and spend more time with family while dedicating more time to my training business and enjoying my farm”, stated Peter in his letter to the Board.
As you plan for the upcoming 2024 Breeding season, there are 5 new stallions standing in Ontario this coming year. The CTHS Ontario Stallion listing can be found at cthsont.com/sire-index. .
