Owner, breeder, trainer, promoter, customs broker, daily newsletter editor and restaurant/teletheatre owner Glen Todd is one of the busiest guys in horse racing. His horses have won hundreds of races and scooped millions of dollars in purses over nearly 50 years at Hastings Racetrack in Vancouver, BC.
