The Game is Canada's Thoroughbred Racing Newspaper and, as our readers are discovering, we have reached a full gallop in our coverage of horse racing in this country.

The Game is now in its seventh successful year of publication. It is still passionately committed to the stories of the owners, breeders, trainers and thousands of devoted backstretch employees who make the game of racing as fantastic as it is. Over the next few months, you will find The Game to be even more exciting.

The Game is committed to continuing its monthly coverage of the entire spectrum of the sport. As much as we will comment and analyze the decisions and events that emanate from the executive offices at racetracks across the country and throughout the world, the various racing commissions and Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency, we will also profile the grooms, assistant trainers, vets, exercise riders, stewards and all the fascinating people who comprise the mosaic of the sport.

We hold fast to the concept that horse racing in Canada is not just Toronto. It's also Fort Erie, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Saskatoon and Vancouver. Every issue of The Game will have stories and wrap-ups from those constituencies.

Every month, in her column Equine Health, Karen Briggs provides an insightful and knowledgeable look at how to care for your horses. For a unique slant on the racing game, we always look forward to Get Tied On, the sometimes hilarious, always life-affirming column from track Chaplain Shawn.

Just recently we started printing the quirky EvenSteven columns of Steven Plaunt who files to us from Western Canada. One of the first columns he wrote for us was nominated for a Sovereign Award. Plaunt is a writer, story-teller and exercise boy and his stuff is always a delight to read. We also have Peter Valing who is quickly immersing himself in the British Columbia racing scene and sending us great features from the West Coast.

Every month, The Game has the stories, the people and the events that shape horse racing. From breeders' reports, to how Canadians are doing at tracks around the world, to racing in Europe, to the social get-togethers that promote and enhance the sport, you will read about it in The Game.

And, perhaps most importantly, The Game knows it must reflect your concerns. We insist on being accessible and responding to every letter, every e-mail and every phone call. We want you to tell us what should be in The Game.
