Canadian Champion Older Horse (1989)

In 1989, five-year-old Steady Power enjoyed his best year, earning Canadian Champion Older Horse honours after winning the Durham Cup Handicap, the Jockey Club Cup Handicap, and a second by a head to Hodges Bay in the 1989 Rothmans International. [1]

A gelding, Steady Power continued to race competitively at the top levels in Canadian racing into age eight when he was claimed for $50,000 in June 1992. By October he had been dropped to a $16,000 claiming race when Kinghaven Farms bought him back and gave him the retirement he deserved. [2]
