After spending 10 years successfully competing at Ontario’s ‘B’ tracks, Borth made Woodbine Mohawk Park his home base in 2023. His 414 wins were second-most in Canada last year.
“My career has always been decent, but this is next level”, Borth remarked in reflection of his 2023 results. “My first year [at Mohawk Park] was better than I ever thought it would be.”
What is your most memorable 2023 win?
“I would have to say I have two, Ghostly Casper in the [OSS $300,000 three-year-old colt and gelding trot] Super Final and Elodie Hanover in the Whenuwishuponastar.”
Do you have a race you dream of winning?
“Definitely the Hambletonian. I grew up training trotters, and I’m always trying just to buy trotters to have in my barn, so the Hambletonian is the goal.”
Can you pick a favourite horse you’ve ever driven?
“I would say Emmetts Buddy, and lately Amigo Volo. Amigo Volo is just like a little sports car – he’s got a nice mouth on him, he’s perfect to drive, and he’s also got $2.4 million in earnings.”
What job would you have pursued if you weren’t in the horse racing industry?
“Professional hunter. I’d have lots of land and go hunting as often as I could.”
What’s on your TV these days?
“Taken with Liam Neeson – I like those three movies. I go on Netflix, and whatever Liam Neeson is in, I’ll watch it. TV-wise, I like watching anything UFC-related.”
