Truro Raceway to host first Atlantic Sires Stakes events of season
The wait is over. The much anticipated 2018 Atlantic Sires Stakes season is about to begin.
Truro Raceway will host the Atlantic Sires Stakes threeyear-old pacing fillies under the lights on Friday evening.
Three A divisions will each go for a purse pool of just over $8,000 and one B division will go for $2,500.
The Atlantic Sires Stakes program, the first of its kind in Canada, was formed more than 50 years ago to promote the standardbred horse industry in Atlantic Canada. Today the program showcases the best young horses in the region and offers participants and spectators the finest in harness racing action.
Atlantic Sires Stakes events will take place at racetracks throughout Nova Scotia and P.E.I. this year. Points earned in each A division event will go towards securing a coveted position in the season-ending Atlantic Breeders Crown Championships.
First race post time at Truro Raceway on Friday is 6:30 p.m.
