Bulls to run on Bay Street to mark 90th Royal

You would have to say The Royal  (as it’s known) has come a long way from milking contests and show jumping. That’s because planners intend to mark the 90th version of The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair by turning six 2000-pounds bulls loose on Bay Street next Tuesday. The release came out Friday with a straight-faced explanation of how the bulls will be un-penned and sent off from Wellington Street and run northbound up Bay Street to King Street. It goes on the say: “While spectators will be able to marvel at these magnificent animals, the streets will be closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic during the running of the bulls. Cowboys on horseback will help guide the bulls to ensure they stay on course. Spectators are invited to come down and watch the bulls on Bay Street, and then celebrate The Royal’s 90th Anniversary kick-off along Bay Street and at the forecourt of Commerce Court with various food and promotional sponsors.”  But it has all been denied
