Atlantic Sires Stakes 2 year old colts Heading to Northside Downs

Atlantic Sires Stakes racing action moves to Northside Downs on Saturday.

Two A divisions of 2 year old colts will highlight the afternoon race card.  Rotten Ronnie driven by Redmond Doucet goes off as the favorite in the first division after winning his last ATSS start in Truro.   The second division will see Woodmere Steeldeal in line to Marc Campbell  trying to keep his ATSS season a winning one.

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 on Saturday at Northside Downs  is 1:00 pm.
