SARATOGA SPINGS, N.Y. — Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame member Mark Casse will be inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame this year.

An Indianapolis native, Casse has been named Canada’s top trainer an unprecedented 11 times during a long run at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto.

Casse, 59, won two thirds of the American Triple Crown last year with War of Will capturing the Preakness Stakes and Sir Winston prevailing in the Belmont Stakes. The Kentucky Derby is the lone American Triple Crown race Casse has not won.

Casse has won 2,865 career races with purse earnings of more than US$174 million, the ninth-highest all-time total.

Casse, who entered the Canadian hall of fame in 2016, also has won all three legs of the Canadian Triple Crown.
