Remembering ... With Approval

The homebred Kinghaven Farm runner was an outstanding racehorse right from the beginning. With Approval, trained by Roger Attfield, was undefeated in both of his starts as a two-year-old in 1988.

ChristineDix · As a Canadian, he was a favourite of mine as a two year old, as well as his outstanding but ill-fated stablemate Izvestia · 188 days ago ·

LAZMANICK · Excellent story about one of Canada’s best horses all time. Speaking of grays, following With Approval’s Canadian TC in 1989, another gray came along and won the TC in 1990. Izvestia, who like with Approval was bred by Kinghaven Farms, won the Canadian TC and ran the fastest Queens Plate all time at Woodbine. Later that year ran in the JCGC and I believe was the favorite and finished third to Flying Continental. Unfortunately he broke down and was euthanized in the ’91 Rothman’s International, now Canadian International. · 188 days ago ·

mary.schweitzer · With Approval and Izvestia have always been two of my favorites. I'd like to mention that the two colts were out of half-sisters (Passing Mood and Shy Spirit). When I was in college, I did an internship at Three Chimneys Farm in 1986 (oh so many years ago!). One of my favorite mares there was Cool Mood, who was both of the colts granddam. One of the reasons she was my favorite was that she was foaled the same year I was. LOL · 188 days ago ·

Woodbine · Nice piece on With Approval. I remember being so upset thaat I had to miss his Breeders' Stakes score. I was 14 and my dad was coaching my brother's baseball team. I remember cheering for them to lose so they wouldn't make it to Sunday and we could go to the track and see him! · 187 days ago ·

Waya · Loved With Approval. I thought his race in the Breeders' Cup was fantastic, he would have won it many years, but In the Wings ran huge. · 185 days ago ·
