Our Signature Race Days continues as we reveal our 2024 HOF Inductees.
Celebrate the history of Minnesota racing on Hall of Fame Night. The program includes five stakes races including the Minnesota Turf Distaff, Ralph Strangis Stakes, Frances Genter Stakes, Victor Myers Stakes and the inaugural Mr. Dale Filly and Mare Turf Sprint. The newest Canterbury Hall of Fame members will be honored as well as a tribute to Hall of fame horse Heliskier.
A timeless voice outlasts eras. It feels just as at home in the sixties as it does in the TikTok age. It also resounds louder as time goes on. Haley Reinhart brandishes such a voice. The platinum-selling singer and songwriter is heavily influenced by classic pop and soul acts. For example, the Beatles, Janis Joplin, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sly and the Family Stone inspire her. Further, she exudes an empowering level of charisma and confidence.
