USA / Editor / 16 October 2011 / Leave a Comment

Aidan O'Brien will be hoping for another Canadian International winner

"Aidan O'Brien's Treasure Beach heads a particularly strong European challenge in the Grade 1 Pattison Canadian International..."

TVG's Matt Carothers is joined by Woodbine's Dawn Lupul as they discuss the top races of the weekend including the Pattison Canadian International, which is just one of the races that features a strong European contingent...

Roger Charlton's Bated Breath, runner-up in the July Cup at Newmarket and the Haydock Sprint Cup, heads the European challenge in the Nearctic Stakes (19:59 BST) over six furlongs and looks the clear standard setter, but Christophe Clement's Right One could give him plenty to think about. Irish handler Charles O'Brien has sent over his smart filly, Bewitched, while Yorkshire trainer David Barron is also represented, by Hitchens.

Canadian legend Roger Attfield has a chance of landing the E. P. Taylor Stakes (21:35 BST) with Miss Keller, but she'll have to see off a strong party from the UK that includes Brian Meehan's Strawberrydaiquiri, David Simcock's I'm A Dreamer & Roger Charlton's Sea of Heartbreak.

Aidan O'Brien's Treasure Beach heads a particularly strong European challenge in the Grade 1 Pattison Canadian International due off at 22:42. Other contenders include Marco Botti's Joshua Tree (who won the race for O'Brien in 2010) and John Gosden's 2010 St Leger winner Arctic Cosmos.

Canadian Poker Pro Fails Taxman Test

One Canadian poker pro tried to claim his losses at poker as losses in a business for his tax report and was found wanting.  Steven Cohen left his law firm to play professional poker, but after failing to get a tax advantage has returned to practicing law. On a 2006 tax form he listed nearly $200k as business expenses, but they were actually his losses when playing poker, both in live tournaments and online poker. The poker player's tax report was not approved by the tax authorities because his poker playing was ruled as a hobby, not a business.
