The wait is over. The much anticipated 2018 Atlantic Sires Stakes season is about to begin.
Truro Raceway will host the Atlantic Sires Stakes three-year-old pacing fillies under the lights this Friday evening (June 1).
Three ‘A’ divisions will each be raced for a purse of just over $8,000 and one ‘B’ division will be raced for $2,500.
The Atlantic Sires Stakes program, the first of its kind in Canada, was formed over 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 Prince Edward Island 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.
