The 2019 Atlantic Sires Stakes season is set to kick off Friday night.
Truro Raceway will host the Atlantic Sires Stakes three-year-old pacing fillies Friday evening.
Two ‘A’ divisions will each go for a purse pool of $10,220 and one ‘B’ division will go for $2500.
The Atlantic Sires Stakes program, the first of its kind in Canada, was formed over fifty 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 pm.
